Everton captain Phil Jagielka has not recovered in time for the Premier League visit of Cardiff City this afternoon.

John Stones continues to deputise for the England international, who is struggling with a hamstring injury.

Ross Barkley drops to the bench after starting in the FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Arsenal, with Leon Osman and Gerard Deulofeu returning to the midfield to support lone striker Romelu Lukaku.
