Both of their main CBs out and Silva's shadow Rodwell who did a very good job at our place. Even with their 12th man Walton and his jinx over us of giving us no wins since 2007 we should beat these. However I can't help but remember Sunderland's makeshift back four holding us out for 90 minutes. *gulp*
We've won 1 of our last 13 games at Goodison, this has to change.

Everton are still without a number of key players for Tuesday’s visit of Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Shane Duffy could continue in central defence in the absence of Sylvain Distin (hamstring) and Phil Jagielka (knee) although fit-again veteran Tony Hibbert is an option.
Midfielders Seamus Coleman (thigh), Leon Osman (knee) and Jack Rodwell (hamstring) are also still missing.
Provisional squad: Howard, Mucha, Neville, Hibbert, Duffy, Heitinga, Baines, Gibson, Cahill, Drenthe, Fellaini, Saha, Donovan, Anichebe, Stracqualursi, McFadden, Gueye, Vellios, Baxter.
