Everton away Sunday 19th April at 2 pm

[SB]

At least it’s not a 1230 KO on Saturday. No idea who’s fit for this or who’s up for the fight for 5th place.

The end is in sight

No Ekitike and Isak won’t start. Gomez injured again. Rio won’t start in a derby.

Every time we put in a big shift in Europe like the second half the next league game they look flat and can’t back it up.

Who knows what we’ll get.

[ChesterDave]

I really hope we win it. Not just for CL chase but to win the first Derby at their new home would be fantastic

It’s hard to get excited for football at the moment but here’s hoping the players can for the Derby.

I dont think these players have a deep enough connection to see a Derby as a crucial game.
Not enough local lads in or around the team.

[Harv]

We lose this. Everton will be frothing at the mouth and we will barely muster a whimper.

[Tatterdemalion]

I am not optimistic about this game.

I agree about the local lads but every player has played in a derby match in their own country so will know the importance of it. Here’s hoping they turn up

[danperkins]

Gonna be skin and hair flying in this one, they will be chomping for this game. We are fragile, direct football has been a major factor in how to beat us and they will go that route. I can't see us winning here, I don't think we have the desire or the fight and that's what it will take to win this derby.

I don't see where goals come from, we're likely to start with a front line of Gakpo and Salah.

As you say after big games in midweek, our performances tend to drop, no doubt Everton will be up for this, and if we aren't it could be ugly.

All the O’s up front. Rio Gakpo Mo
