Game: EVERTON vs BLACKBURN
Type: ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Date: 20 Sep, 2009
PREVIEW
Everton's midweek 4-0 thumping of AEK Athens in the Europa Cup match will provide them with extra motivation to face Blackburn in this weekend's EPL league match. Sitting precariously at second to last, Everton knows that nothing but a win will do for them if they don't want to remain rooted at the bottom three. Signs are promising despite their position as they have won 3 out of 4 at home, with their only blemish coming against the rampant Arsenal on opening day.
Blackburn comes off a 3 match unbeaten run, and will provide stiff competition to Everton's hopes of climbing out of their current position. With tough matches to follow after today's match, the visitors will be looking to get at least a point here. They have reasons to be confident as head-to-head results point in their favour at Goodison Park.
THE PICK
Despite the visitor's better head-to-head record, EVERTON's home form must not be overlooked. The host should edge this tie comfortably to move the the table.
