Russell Griffiths, 19
The under-18 title-winning goalkeeper has been given a taste of the Everton first-team this season.

An excellent organiser, Griffiths has travelled with the Blues around Europe as well as being on the bench in the Premier League during Tim Howard's injury.



Jonjoe Kenny, 18
Kirkdale-born Kenny has been made captain of the under-21s despite his tender years.

The defender feels his best position is at right-back but his decision-making and tidy playing style means he can be deployed at centre-half and in midfield.



Tyias Browning, 20
With three senior appearances to his name, Browning will be one of the most experienced members of the under-21 squad tonight.

Browning, who started in the Europa League against Krasnodar in December, is expected to feature more regularly in Roberto Martinez's squads next term.



Brendan Galloway, 19
Bought from MK Dons last summer, Galloway is being primed for stardom at Goodison Park.

A cultured, ball-playing centre-half in the John Stones mould, the teenager is still learning his craft but will feature for the first-team next season, although a loan spell in the Football League is likely.



Antonee Robinson, 18
Speedy left-back Robinson was born in Milton Keynes and joined the Everton Academy at the age of 11.

Robinson was part of the Blues u-18s side that thrashed their Liverpool counterparts 5-0 at Finch Farm in February.



Ryan Ledson, 18
The tenacious, tough-tackling but talented Ledson is already a player well known to Evertonians.

At the club since the age of five, the Fazakerley teenager has made swift progress through the ranks at Goodison and is expected to be a first-team regular of the future.



Thomas Davies, 16
Midfielder Davies will be one of the youngest players in Unsworth's ranks tomorrow night at Goodison.

The first-year scholar stands out for his top notch work-rate and started in the u-21s' draw at Norwich earlier this month.



Liam Walsh, 17
Huyton's Walsh was rewarded for his progress at Everton with a first professional contract in March.

The skilful England u-18 midfielder is highly-thought of by Martinez.



Kieran Dowell, 17
Another to sign a first pro deal with the Blues this year, Dowell made his senior debut in December's Europa League game against Krasnodar.

The Ormskirk-born player joined the club as a seven-year-old and can play across the forward line.



David Henen, 18
On-loan from Olympiakos, Belgian teenager Henen has shown flashes of his quality throughout the season.

Bags of pace and an eye for goal make Henen an exciting prospect and his Everton future is likely to be resolved in the coming weeks with the Blues mulling over signing him permanently.



Calum Dyson, 17
Fazakerley's Dyson scored six goals and made 10 assists during Everton under-18s title-winning side.

The striker, who was handed a first pro contract last summer, scored twice in the Blues u-18s' 5-0 win over Liverpool earlier this year.



Sam Byrne, 19
Striker Byrne swapped Manchester United's academy for Everton's in July 2014.

A Republic of Ireland u-19 international, Byrne played as part of a midfield three against Chelsea for Unsworth's side last week.



Michael Donohue, 17
At Everton since the age of eight, the winger from Warrington always catches the eye with his ability to beat defenders and race to the touchline.

Harry Charsley, 18
Wirral midfielder Charsley put pen to paper on pro terms with the Blues last summer.

And it was Charsley's winning goal against Manchester City on the final day of the season that clinched the u-18 Premier League title for Everton last season.
 
Under 21s have been piss poor recently haven't they?
They've had lots of injuries though and they've got players out on loan. That's why it will be more like an u18s side tonight. Oviedo's injury means one of the couple of senior players pencilled in to play will have to be replaced by a kid. Expect a biggish defeat.
