Team news ahead of Sunderland's trip to Merseyside to take on their FA Cup quarter final slayers Everton at Goodison Park. Kick-off time is at 3pm and the match is not being screened live anywhere in the UK. Everton boss David Moyes is hoping to recall Jack Rodwell and Royston Drenthe to the side. Rodwell is battling to overcome a hamstring injury whilst Drenthe has been on compassionate leave since March 21st. Seamus Coleman is on the comeback trail as he overcomes his thigh problem. He came off the bench against Norwich on Saturday and could start as could Leon Osman who was left out of the squad for the match against the Canaries. For Martin O'Neill's Sunderland, captain Lee Cattermole took a knock in the 0-0 draw against Spurs and will undergo a late fitness test. Defender Phil Bardsley also will be assessed late. Striker Nicklas Bendtner is a doubt with a back problem and left sided players Kieran Richardson and Wayne Bridge are hoping for recalls.
