The Toffees are out of form and has Silva scratching his head far too often after the final whistle has gone. A big chance to get back to winning ways when they meet Cardiff later.
Everton goes into this one in danger of going four games without picking up a point. Funny enough, if this continues, Marco Silva could very well be the next manager to lose his job. Everton has lost three in a row and was knocked out of the FA Cup by bottom league, Millwall.
However, this game offers a chance to rebuff and fill his men with confidence. His ex-club Watford displayed what can be achieved in this ballpark, so they must not sell themselves short considering they have quite the attacking prospects in the side.
Everton has a Merseyside derby coming the weekend and they do not want to approach that game with no moral boost.
The visitors could name a strong side with the exclusion of Kurt Zuma who picked up a red in the Man City loss. Hopeful to see Yerry Mina, but fitness concerns over recent weeks has left him a continuous doubt.
