Everton - Portsmouth Preview

I took a couple of days off from posting since there wasn't really any noteworthy news. As I said in an earlier post, this game against Portsmouth doesn't really matter. We are going to be in 8th place no matter what.

Heitinga wants to play, but he is still recovering from a hairline fracture on his ankle. I would rather we not play him, instead of risking further injury.
