Everton have made three changes for their Premier League clash against Manchester City at Goodison Park this afternoon.

Leighton Baines is fit again and replaces Sylvain Distin in the starting XI after missing Tuesday's 1-1 FA Cup draw against West Ham United with a minor injury suffered on New Year's Day.

John Stones and Aiden McGeady also return to the starting lineup, replacing Bryan Oviedo and Kevin Mirallas.

Meanwhile, Man City have made eight changes from their narrow 2-1 win against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

Captain Vincent Kompany is available after overcoming a hamstring problem, but only makes the bench, while Yaya Toure is out after flying out to Equatorial Guinea for Ivory Coast's Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

Everton: Joel, Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman, Besic, Barry, McGeady, Naismith, Barkley, Lukaku
Subs: Griffiths, Eto'o, Oviedo, Kone, Mirallas, Garbutt, Alcaraz

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Nasri, Jovetic
Subs: Caballero, Kompany, Kolarov, Aguero, Lampard, Sagna, Sinclair
