I can't wait for this game, hopefully it can ease the pain from the Stoke match.

Mikel Arteta is in the form of his life....we have to watch out for him....

Cahill is pretty dangerous from set pieces too.... So the zonal marking should be up to scratch.

I don't think this match will be as easy as earlier the one....cos ever$hit are one of the form teams in the league now.

Benitez has to go with the full team...

He should but he won't. I hope Torres starts this time at least.

absolute must win, biggest match of the season for us

Well to be honest when you are at the top of the table every match must take on that sort of importance. But yes as a derby it is a must win. I hope Rafa doesnt go for 4-5-1 again.

Rafa's negativity has cost us on at least 4 to 5 occasions this season , if he doesn't start with 2 at the weekend he can :censored:

right off

I'd have to agee, I can see Masch coming in and Gerrard playing behind Torres, with Keane relegated to the bench.

But, as we seen against Stoke, we can never guess the team!!!

This game has just become all the more important as Man U have spanked Chelsea. They play Wigan at home and Bolton away with every reason to believe they will be top of the league by the time we get to this game. Luck has smiled on us so far this season though......

3 points is the only outcome from the Derby, it simply has to be. With no recognised strikers (Anichebe is still a reserve imo) and Fellaini now suspended, there's absolutely no reason why we can't send out a positive statement of our own come a week tomorrow.

Everton play 4-6-0 much like roma do , flooding the midfield . Cahill usually plays upfront and he's a real handful , arterta is in great form as well . We have to play 4-4-2 because if we play 1 upfront , torres will get isolated . If i were keane i'd be marching into the manager's office demanding why i'd been left out again

It saddens me to say this but yes he can :censored:

right off if he keeps it up. But it's a bit of a paradox as really we cannot complain being top of the league (for now).

What's this thread open for?

The leagues over, this match is pointless!

:no

Will be a tight match and will be interesting who rafa puts out on the field. No more bizzare choices please. I just hope we do win this one and put everything back in perpective. Mannure beating chelsea shows they will start a good run. I think its going to be very nerve racking from now till may. Just hope this will be our year. Anywayz i think we should win this one. Would prefer the 4-4-2 line up you guys mentioned but doubt it rafa will go with that.
Heart says a nice 2-0 win head says feck knows maybe 1-1

no, it will be the mancs match.

By the time we play this game we could be second :Oo:

if them b@stards win their two games in hand, praying for Stoke like defending from Wigan and Bolton.

All of the matches are of huge importance now. i wouldnt single out any as being the biggest.

The way everton are playing, and the way we play sometimes, everton may well get something out of these games!

Stevie G will have sefton magistrates court on his mind, Torres not match fit, wheres the goals coming from.

Plus, if Utd could be top by the time we play, more pressure.

Plus Rafa's bad timing and controverisal comments, adding more pressure.

Up to LFC to deliver to get any result. All about pressure now, and we will see if LFC have what it takes.

You would expect usto steam roller everton, but you would have said that V stoke on 2 occasions
