predictions and match build up for Everton at home. Saturday 12.30 PL

[Stephen Paul]

A big chance to go top against our former bogey team and put pressure on Carragher's bum boys

No pressure at all 

[Stephen Paul]

3-0 City

[gavin]

This should be no problem to us given Everton's recent form. But there's still a niggling worry with them especially given last season's home disappointment even though our record against them has been great overall over the last several years.

4-0 if Everton have a good day. Sorry Stevie but congratulations Paddy Power.
