Opta Stats
- Cardiff have won just one of their last 11 meetings with Everton in all competitions (D4 L6), winning 1-0 in a League Cup match in September 1979.
- Everton have won just one of their last 12 top-flight away games against Cardiff (D4 L7), and are winless in their last six. Their last such victory there was in March 1929 (2-0).
- Everton are looking to do the league double over Cardiff for the first time since 1928-29.
- Cardiff have never won a midweek Premier League game (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday), drawing three and losing six. They've scored just two goals in those nine games and have conceded at least twice in each defeat.
- Cardiff have conceded more home Premier League goals than any other side this season (28), conceding five times on three separate occasions (0-5 v Man City, 1-5 v Man Utd, 1-5 v Watford).
- Everton have lost their last three Premier League games. They've not lost four in a row since January 2015 under Roberto Martinez.
- Cardiff defender Sol Bamba has scored in each of his last two Premier League games, scoring twice. He has four goals this season, a joint-league-high for the Bluebirds along with Bobby Reid and Callum Paterson.
- Marco Silva has won an average of 1.22 Premier League points per game as Everton manager, the worst ratio of any Toffees manager since Walter Smith, who departed the club in March 2002 with a 1.15 ratio.
- Neil Warnock has never lost a home match against Everton in all competitions (P3 W1 D2 L0), avoiding defeat with Notts County in March 1992 (0-0), Sheffield United in March 2007 (1-1) and Leeds United in September 2012 (2-1).
Warnock will put out another stupid team.
I generally don’t have a problem with Patterson, I think he has been involved for all our wins so obviously he works to some extent but I understand why people might be fed up with him. Gunnarsson has to come back in though, and Reid and hopefully Peltier, just give him some laxatives for ****s sake.
Warnocks loyalty to Morrison is going to get us relegated. He is piss poor, and clearly puts Bruno on edge.
Team tonight (I think, not want)
Etheridge
Manga
Morrison
Bamba
Bennett
Gunnar
Bacuna
Reid
NML
Zohore
Hoilett
Agreed. I would also like to see us not having more than one player man marking. Would rather none. How ****ing hard is it for Warnock to see that man marking against teams with players A) Much better than our own, and B) Enjoy playing off the ball, just does not work. Even Everton, as poor as they have been will take us to pieces if we persist with multiple man marking. Two banks of four will do the job Neil, don't over complicate the matter. I suspect that is half the reason Morrison has been so average this season.
Morrison winner, imagine I do feel for him to be fair, the man marking system clearly only really suits a few of them. Which is the step up of course, but even then we're not that great at it. In fact, I think Peltier might be the best man marker at the club, which is incredible considering I really did not rate him a month ago, and now I think he should be a lock to go back in at right back after those performances against Arsenal, Bmouth and Soton. Still, the man marking at this level is silly, especially the extent he likes to do it. Do it tonight and it will be another heavy defeat.
I see Junior is active on Twitter today. Expect him to play. Zohore normally announces himself as well but he is very quiet. Hope it's not Patterson up top!
Mix it up tonight. Plenty of changes.
Anyone else think Camarasa has downed tools?
Jesus
Fair Do's. Some battlers in there. Arsa obviously not interested,so bye bye. 2-0 City.
Think it's shit or bust with that team
Plenty of pace but not much in midfield.
Camsrasa injured isn't he?
I'm really happy with that attacking line up, bang up for it now. Great to see us taking it to a struggling side at home
Side has got a real championship feel about it. Hopefully it can out battle Everton.
That midfield is a big concern.
we look 2nd best here as everton seem to have a lot of ball and scoring chances
How haven't they had a booking?
