EVERTON will be boosted by the return of Phil Jagielka for today’s Premier League clash with West Ham at Goodison Park.

The centre-back has recovered from the thigh injury which ruled him out of their last three games.

Striker Louis Saha has been hampered by a similar problem and will undergo a late fitness test.

"Phil Jagielka has trained so I am hopeful he will be available," said boss David Moyes.

"Louis Saha has only done some light training so I am not as confident about him.

"We will have a look at it on Saturday – it might be that he can be risked."

Everton go into the game buoyed by the news that Seamus Coleman and Victor Anichebe have penned new long-term contracts.

Moyes admits it was a timely boost after the departure of midfielder Steven Pienaar to Tottenham.

"It is really important news for the club," he said.

"Seamus already had a contract but we thought he had done well and he deserved a new one. It is what Everton do – we reward people who do well.

"He has played wide right most weeks because we haven’t had anybody to play there. We will look to put him back in the end (to full-back) and hopefully when he does go back then this will stand him in good stead. We might then find he is a better wide player than full-back we’ll see.

"His hunger and passion for the game is certainly helping him. What we need to do is help him with the technical side and his understanding of the game. But he is a great listener, has a great attitude and is a pleasure to work with.

"There have been talks with Victor for a while and he has now put pen to paper to stay in the place where I think he should be.

"Hopefully he can stay injury free because I think he has the potential to become a really good player."
