Will possibly be a low priority for them, what with the European committments. Maybe we can finally get something out of a game with them?!
Well we all know how Monk treated the last cup game we played against Everton so I don't hold out much hope for us progressing.
5th round of the FA CUP compared to this early League cup game .. different circumstances to say the least ..probably put out the entire first team for this next League Cup game.
Everton's fixture list: Thursday 18th September - Europa League match day 1 (opponents yet to be decided) Sunday 21st September - Crystal Palace (home) Premier League Tuesday 23rd/Wednesday 24th September - Swansea City Capitol One Cup 3rd Round Saturday 27th September - Liverpool (away) Premier League They won't bother too much with us
Yeah I noticed that, very unusual but good if you're one of the Prem sides that get through I think Monk will take this more seriously than Everton with their fixtures (thanks Aswan). Whether that is serious enough remains to be seen though. Would be great to beat them at last.
If we get past Everton we'll be 1 of only 5/6 Prem teams left in the competition. A great opportunity if you ask me and we should really go for this competition now.
Yes, I agree. Garry has stated (somewhere) that he wants to do well in the cups this season. We should put out a very strong team v. Everton as I doubt that they will
Everton will be in the same situation when we faced them in the FA Cup. Would be great to finally beat the buggers.
