Everton's Stubbs impressed by Sunderland striker Jones
Everton defender Alan Stubbs admits he's ready for a rough ride against Sunderland's new strike-star Kenwyne Jones this weekend. "Roy Keane has bought a few players that people may have looked at but not gone for," Stubbs told evertonTV. "To be fair the ones he has brought in have come up trumps. Kenwyne Jones has done well of late. He's a big lad and has scored a few goals. "Hats off to him, he has tried to add in the right places this year." Stubbs spent a short period at Sunderland in the 2005/6 season before returning to Goodison and recognises the importance the Wearsiders attach to being in the nation's top division. "It is a Premier League club, a big club, and they have probably been deprived of top flight football for too long," said Stubbs. "The fans have craved it for a long time, especially seeing Newcastle in there. "They are back and they are doing okay, they'd probably like to see themselves a bit higher but it is always difficult in the first season back." |

Everton v Sunderland
The Toffees go into the game in pretty good shape, after holding Chelsea to a draw last time out. They are a more consistent team and are now expected to be in the top ten every season. Though the strikers are not playing to the top of their game, midfield experience is helping Everton sustain a good run of form in all competitions. In fact, they are unbeaten in six games in all tournaments, their last defeat coming against local rivals Liverpool. Due to European involvement, Everton may be slightly sharper than Sunderland, but the fitness of the squad could go against them. Sunderland are scrapping points here and there, which has been good enough to keep them out of the relegation zone at this moment in time. The Black Cats held local rivals Newcastle a couple of weeks ago, in a performance that showed tremendous effort and enthusiasm. If Sunderland keep up this sort of level of play, they should stay up. However, they must win a couple of games before January if they are to stay out of trouble. Sunderland have a much fitter squad than Everton, so manager Keane may find a way to use this to his advantage. Both sides are good battlers, and both should also be reasonably happy with their respective positions in the league. Everton have had a busier schedule recently, which could have a negative or positive effect on their performance. Sunderland have a fit squad of hungry players. This should prove to be a good game of football, so long as Sunderland do not crack under the pressure. Prediction: Everton Too Solid |

Everton scored seven goals past Sunderland to register their biggest win since 1996.
The last time Everton hit seven was against Southampton 11 years ago and the Black Cats were put to the sword by a team now unbeaten in seven and on the crest of a wave in Europe and on the domestic front. Ayegbeni Yakubu and Tim Cahill grabbed two each, with Steven Pienaar, substitute Andrew Johnson and Leon Osman completed the rout. Sunderland's only bright spot was a first half injury-time goal from Dwight Yorke are now without an away Barclays Premier League win in 18 attempts. Keane's men were tentative and on the back foot from the start and only a brave block from Paul McShane stopped Cahill scoring with a fierce six-yard volley. Arteta had created the chance with a fine run and cross that mesmerised Ian Harte on the right. Craig Gordon then saved low down to his right from Nuno Valente before McShane was not so fortunate with his next intervention. The Republic of Ireland defender allowed the ball to elude him 40 yards out and Yakubu burst away. |
