If we don't take advantage of this lot playing their third game in six days then we are utter bells really.
Surprised by so many predictions of a comfortable victory. Don't play well and we won't beat these. I know the mentality of thinking they're just punching above their weight but for me, they deserve to be well in the top half. Good football, solid tactics, with a manger who is one of the all-time greats (IMO). First goal will be crucial, as they're set up perfectly to hit us on the counter attack and if we don't improve the protection the defence is given then we could be picked off.
Not saying we don't have some damn good players ourselves and of course, I think we should be winning this. Just I don't think it'll be particularly comfortable, nor will we get that elusive clean sheet (although it'd be fitting considering these were the last team to fail to score against us).

especially when their games were against arsenal and chelsea in pulsating cup ties
The predictions are based on us being much better than them the last two times we've played them, to be fair.
If we don't comfortably beat a team who have already played twice this week, at Goodison, then it's a bit crap really.
