Depends who plays, Benteke ,Ayew, Kouyate and Luka its a fourth defeat in a row, Edouard (as CF) Olise, Hughes, Eze then we have a chance. And Rak-Sakyi on the bench

Living up to my nom-de-plume I have to point out that our last HOME win against Everton was in October 1994 since when we have drawn 5 and lost 6 -all in the PL. We have managed 3 wins at Goodison in that same period.

I have to say it doesn't bode well but - a first home win in 27 years? I have my doubts, especially after the way Everton came back against Arsenal last time out. 1-1 at best IMO.

2-1 to us, I would’ve said 2-0, but we all know Townsend will score, let’s hope if he does it won’t matter

Everton were looking bang average until the Arsenal game. A lot of there better players are back from injury and what looked a very winnable game on paper is going to be tough. It will be good to have Ward back and if Anderson and McCarthur are also back we should be able to create chances to win this. We just need our forwards to be on their game.
On flip side Benitez will set up his team to probably defend deep which won't help us.
Going for 1-1 as well.

I can't see us getting anything out of this game. Sorry!
