Baines has been nursing an ankle problem and Moyes says he is monitoring the England international's condition, but expects him to be fit for the Swans' visit to Goodison Park.
It remains to be seen whether or not forward Kevin Mirallas, sidelined recently by a hamstring injury, is ready to make his return to action.

Captain John Terry is in Chelsea's squad for the Barclays Premier League game at Stoke, but will not start, interim manager Rafael Benitez said today.
