Match Thread Everton Vs Norwich City - Capital One Cup - Fourth Round - Tuesday 27th October - 19:45 KO

[Billy Dean]

Prediction: 2-1 to Norwich. They score early, we bombard them for 85 mins and finally equalise. They go up the other end and score with their 2nd shot.

3-0 for Everton. They are rank, imo. Relegation candidates and I see them going straight back down.

It'd be shocking if we even required ET tonight.

Seen quite a bit of them this season, the press high, are good in possession and break really quickly.

I have fears.

Think we will win but probably make hard work of it as we always seem to do

There isn't a single Premier League team (including the NE teams) that I actually go into a game thinking "yeh we're gonna win this". I'm not even pessimistic I'm just realistic in the fact we can somehow make any opponent look like Bayern Munich. This match will be tough.

Only Bournemouth and Newcastle have conceded more this season. I cant see us failing to hit at least 2...and I dont see them scoring more than 1 - especially so if, as seems likely, they rest up players for their game against City.

Doesn't that apply to Norwich too?

After the game sky will be interviewing Norfolk's youngest butcher.

I just hope Norwich make changes & use second string players, we might just stand a chance then !!

I predict we'll win 6-0 and play scintillating attacking football, and then Gareth Barry will leisurely stroll back into the team on Sunday

2-1 to Everton. Another atrocious first half of football by Everton forcing us to up the ante in the second half.

We'll score around the 48th minute, before bombarding their goal unsuccessfully (with the odd chance for them mixed in) until the 88th minute.

Then we'll score. People will walk out happy while successfully masking the fact that we're far too often dreadful in the first forty-five minutes.

Yeh that's my point. I can't get on board with people saying "3-0 they're gash" and stuff when we haven't really done anything to warrant that kind of confidence/arrogance in our own ability yet.

Same, they're not that bad of a team and have some decent players - Redmond in particular.

We still should be able to dispatch them by 2 or 3 at home, like.
