Moyes makes Wright call

Everton manager David Moyes claimed he has no qualms about throwing Richard Wright into the firing line against Manchester United.
Moyes will hand his back-up goalkeeper a rare start in Saturday's Premiership clash at Goodison Park as regular number one Tim Howard is ineligible to face the Red Devils - the club he started the season with.
But the Toffees boss doesn't expect Wright to be overawed by the occasion despite him making just one Premiership appearance this season.
Ironically, that appearance came in United's 3-0 victory over Everton at Old Trafford back in November.
"Richard has got a terrific attitude," Moyes told the club's official website.
"It is disappointing that we have not got Tim Howard but I will not have any qualms about putting Richard back in.
"You can never fault his work in training and he is a great lad to have around the place. He won't let anyone down."
Meanwhile, Everton could have on-loan midfielder Manuel Fernandes back in their starting line-up after a recent injury problems.
"We lacked a bit of quality in the final third (in last week's defeat at West Ham), but we improved when Manuel came on and it is good to have him back amongst it," he added.
