Another match against the bitters after two consecutive draws. This is the third Merseyside derby that will be played in the space of just two weeks.
Everton ended a great run of results by losing at Old Trafford last weekend, while we have returned to the title race by beating Chelsea at Anfield.
After the morale boosting and much needed win against Chelsea which ended the four-match winless run in all competitions.
Our players spirits will be illuminated and up for a tough contest.
Bitters have played four very difficult matches in the last two weeks and the players are desperately in need of rest.
New on loan Jo will be cup-tied for this match so wont get a taste yet of life under gollum.
Tough match to call as it is at goodison and everton will be up for it without a doubt. I doubt they will play defensively and i presume they will go for it.
With torres hitting the goals again seems like its the right place for him to score again in which he hit two at goodison back in september.
Also with keanes departure i think the team will move on and forget about that fiasco.
Considering we have pompy 3 days later i could see rafa chopping and changing. Rafa will try to win this game as well, but his main focus is on the Premier League and he will rest some of the first team regulars. Thus, Babel, Lucas, Dossena, Hyppia and Agger are likely to take some part in this match, while keeper Cavalieri could also replace Pepe Reina.
Possible line up......
Cavalieri
arby hyypa agger dossena
macha lucas
benny riera
Gerrard
Torres
Will be an interesting one considering everton have been fairly decent at home. Got a slight glitch will nick it 2-1
