Everton have lost their last two home league games against us by an aggregate score 2-9 (0-3 and 2-6). They have never lost three consecutive top-flight home games by a margin of 3+ goals against an opponent before. Everton and us are facing each other in a Premier League (PL) match with both sides starting the day in the bottom half of the table for the first time since April 2004, when David Moye's Everton beat us (David Pleat) 3-1 at Goodison.
Everton have lost five of their last six PL games (W1), winning fewer points in the competition in that period than any other side (3). They have won seven of their last nine PL home games, though they have lost two of the last three. The Toffees have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 PL matches at Goodison Park.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored three goals in his last four PL games for Everton, though he has ended on the losing side each time. He has lost each of his last 4 PL games in which he has found the net, only Heidar Helguson in April 2000 and Mohammed Diame in October 2012 have lost five consecutive games in which they have scored.
We are unbeaten in our last 13 PL games against Everton (W7 D6), our joint-longest such run against the Toffees in the top flight (also 13 between 1997-2003). We are winless in our last 11 PL away games (D2 L9), our longest such run since a run of 14 between May 2000 and January 2001 under George Graham. We have lost 18 games in all competitions in 2019, our most in a calendar year since 2008 (19).
Kane has scored 2 goals in each of his last 4 PL appearances against Everton. No player has ever scored 2+ goals in five consecutive games against an opponent in the competitions History. Eriksen has scored in each of his last four PL appearances for us against Everton. He has scored 5 in total against the Toffees in the competition, only against Swansea (6) has he netted more.

[Gassin's finest]

Not even predicting it. Sink or swim time.

 

[noiseboy55]

All I want is the team that played Red Star. Will we get it? I doubt it very much.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Loser gets sacked?

we will draw

Loser gets sacked?

we will draw

As I understand it
If we draw so will they.

History says we will win this.
But with the current form and status
of both teams
it's gonna be
more like mud wrestling.

2-2 draw, late goal to rescue a point.

 

[Gbspurs]

Must win given their form regardless of how bad ours is.

Even those who continue to support Poch (and I admire and understand their stance BTW) will have a near impossible task of continuing that if we were to lose/even draw and play poorly this weekend.

A good performance and a win and nothing less is needed here. If not he just HAS to go surely?

Our last decent away result in the league was against these guys before Christmas. But we've been so bad since then, it's hard to predict a positive result, even though they've been worse than they were in the previous game.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Hope we don't score too early, 'cause as we know that's suicide in football.
To be certain, let's not score at all. A simple 0-0 is the safest bet.

I said this to someone last night - big game for both managers and feels likely that losing manager will be moved on.

I think a loss here would turn a lot of the remainers (sorry) - me included.

I’ve forged various excuses last few weeks (ah, it’s Liverpool, ah it’ll be fine when we drop X, Y and Z), but now it’s last-chance saloon. Everton are hopeless, and a loss is beyond unacceptable.

We’re starting to lose that “it’s the beginning of the season, still plenty of time to catch up” excuse, and this needs to be a statement win. That away record is an abomination. Something has to give, and it has to be on Sunday.

or I’m fully #JoseIn

lost away to Brighton who were without a win all season(i think), draw at home to bottom place Watford, so can't see it getting much better here IMHO.

 

[Grapo2001]

Bring me the downvotes... I hope we lose and Poch gets sacked.

 

[midoshairband]

be nice not to be 1-0 up so early this time ?

Feels like a huge team selection for Poch.

Lamela always gets bloody inured from nowhere, he played the full 90 vs Red Star too before this injury, thought this injury would just be a precaution but now it sounds more serious

After 6 years, I'm not even mad...

I want Poch sacked but hoping we lose????? You don't support the team/club if you want us to lose.
