Armando Broja will make his second start for Everton as the Blues face Nottingham Forest.

David Moyes hinted at further changes to the side that drew with Arsenal last week and the inclusion of the Albania international is the headline move.


It suggests he is keen to take another look at the Chelsea loanee before his time at Everton ends in the summer. Injury has blighted his stint on Merseyside and has made triggering the £30m clause to make his stay permanent untenable - but the club could test the water, potentially with another loan move - if Moyes sees enough from him.

Broja replaces Beto, whose goals were crucial to moving Everton to safety. He has missed a number of big chances in the recent winless run, however.

James Garner also returns to the starting line-up, coming in for Tim Iroegbunam, while Vitalii Mykolenko returns from injury to replace Nathan Patterson at left back.
