Everton have named a youthful 21-man squad to compete in the Premier League this season.

Manager David Moyes has opted for a fresh-faced party, with several of his registered players in their early 20s.

The Toffees submitted their line-up on Wednesday in accordance with new rules stipulating all top flight clubs must name a matchday squad of up to 25 players for this term.

The regulations also state that parties must include at least eight 'home-grown' names, a quota that Moyes has met easily with the inclusion of nine players who fit that bill.

Nigerian striker Yakubu has been named in the line-up, despite being heavily linked with a move away from Goodison Park this summer.

Moyes additionally has several younger players at his disposal, with team members aged 21 and under eligible to supplement the named squad.

Everton squad: Anthony James Hibbert, Leighton John Baines, Philip Nikodem Jagielka, Philip John Neville, Leon Osman, Jermaine Paul Alexander Beckford, Timothy Cahill, Victor Chinedu Anichebe, James Oliver Vaughan, Mikel Arteta Amatriain, Iain Turner, Steven Pienaar, Timothy Matthew Howard, Seamus Coleman, Ayegbeni Yakubu, Marouane Fellaini-Bakkioui, Jan Mucha, Louis Laurent Saha, John Gijsbert Alan Heitinga, Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Sylvain Distin.
