Undoubtedly the best chance we've had in recent years to win at Anfield. Can Moyes remove the tag of being a 'bottler' at the big away games? i'm not so sure, don't really think throwing Barkley into the picture again on such a big occasion. Looked a bit frightened at Spurs, although he was better against Arsenal.

We have the team for it, everyone who has followed us this season knows it, we just seem to lose any tempo and flowing football at these sort of grounds.

I suspect Mirallas and Fellaini will have to be on their game, I have personally never felt more optimistic about a derby, hopefully i'm right.

Lets have these blues

Mirallas was so good at Goodison in this fixture, let's hope he can play as well for 90 mins without *him* to injure him off the ball

Barkley looked scared when he came on against fulham, the derby isn't for him tbh

Its difficult for Moyes, I don't want Osman near the team because he has been poor recently, but on the other hand Barkley did look scared vs Fulham and the pressure would likely get to him, imo we should drop Fellaini back in to midfield with Gibson and play either Pienaar behind Vic with Oviedo on the left, or play Jelavic up with Vic OR and this may p*ss some people off play Naismith up with Vic or Jela because we havn't seen Naismith play in his proper position and when he did vs AEK Athens (The Tony Hibbert riots of 2012) where he scored a hattrick, I don't know i'm sure DM will figure it out.

COYB!
