Two of the best football playing teams in the country.
Surprised the bells at sky haven't picked it for coverage.
Neither play in red i suppose.
3-1 n a cracking game cos we can't keep a clean sheet
 
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).

The thing is we were comfortable in all three game we played against them. If this is going to be different they're going to have to show something against us that they haven't before.
 
Coleman's return should mean that Heitinga drops to the bench, hopefully we can keep our first clean sheet in forever. Anichebe deserves to start, black Messi lads.
 
True, they haven't scored against us in this league yet. But I'm not one for dallying on past games, I don't think those games will have a massive bearing on tomorrow. If we play near our best, I think we'll win. So let's just focus on that and make whatever they throw at us irrelevant.

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.

And I agree mate, just think a combination of Swansea's counter-attacking style and us never really putting anyone to the sword when we should means it'll be very close.
 
Nice one! Lets hope they are not as sharp as they could be after playing a hard semi final.We`ll need to be on the ball anyway. 3-2 Everton.
 
Think we will win 2-1-expecting a good game,
some will look at this game and say swansea have a great chance,for the simple reason they are on a high after beating chelsea,
if they lost people would have said swansea will be tired-it will be a hard game etc-the usual rubbish excuse if swansea would lose etc
