3-1 to the blues DCL to continue his scoring run and James and Keane for thr others

Ings to play a blinder: post match MotM comment “I did it for Virgil”

...nailed on

Or DCL bagging another hatrick: post match MOtM comment “Picks did Virgil”

Of course, I want to see James play tomorrow, but if he doesn't, it will definitely be a good test for the midfield. Whether it is Gomes and Sigurdsson or Sigurdsson and Davies, or Gomes and Davies, they will need to show that they can push the ball forward and create chances. I still think Everton is missing a second offensive creative midfielder and I would like to find out whether Sigurdsson or Gomes or both can elevate their game. Otherwise, the team will become too dependent on James. ¡¡¡Vamos Everton!!!

I’d happily take a scrappy 0-1

Big chance to dispel "Everton That" in this game. Should be winning this.

 

[Bullens Rd]

This is a massive, massive test without Richarlison. I'm thinking 2-2.

Can we still get 3 points from a team we should be beating with a few key players missing? This is the perfect time to have this sort of test because we’ll stay top of the league regardless.

I‘m really hoping James plays. But more than that I hope that whoever plays on the left (Iwobi/Bernard/Gordon), seizes their opportunity. We really need to see some quality from our squad for us all to believe we can sustain these levels of performance for an entire season and achieve something. Now is a great low pressure time to have that test.

I still firmly believe that this Everton is different. I’m gonna go for a 0-2 win to the Blues. Doucoure to get his first goal for us and Ings not to score.

 

[RomanReigns]

lets destroy them and show everyone why we are top of the league

 

[deipnosophist]

Good luck with the new job. Can’t turn your nose up at any work these days. I can’t do radio silence. Always need a sneaky look at the score.

In the 1-1 last year they out competed us in the midfield. Hopefully Allan and Doucouré won’t let that happen this time.

Thanks mate, I'm hoping with being new, nobody will bother me and tell me haha and then at 5 I can whack it straight on the tv and hopefully watch it without knowing, If I know the score chances are i won't watch the game.
