Greetings from Read Sunderland! I’m Chris Sparks here to inform all you Everton fans of what to expect when Sam Allardyce brings his side to Goodison Park for this Sunday’s televised clash.
What can you expect from Sunderland?
Confidence and positive play. Big Sam knows that we must push on from last week’s win and with Everton playing mid-week, Sunderland will be looking to play on the break and exploit tired legs.
What do you make of Everton’s season so far?
A lot better than last season. My step-father is an Everton fan so I have a soft spot for the club and I hope you do well (just not on Sunday).
Key Player: Adam Johnson
AJ was the derby hero again, if he can drown out the abuse from the stands with some decent form then Sunderland have a very good player on their hands.
Predicted Line-up:
Pantilimon, Jones, Brown, Coates, Yedlin, Cattermole, M’Vila, Lens, Johnson, Defoe, Fletcher.
Read Sunderland‘s Prediction:
I’m going for a score draw. Sunderland will be full of confidence, but Everton have superb attacking quality in Lukaku and Barkley.
Everton 2-2 Sunderland.
