"Chris, Colin Calderwood and Paul Barron are three very, very good coaches who are very experienced too. They have been very experienced players in their time too, so we are in good hands.
"We just have to go into tomorrow from the off and come out with all guns blazing."
"It will be a tough game. They are a very well-organised side and I think David Moyes and Steve Round have done a great job.
"When you mix hard work and organisation with quality, then you have a good side. They have proved it this season.
"We were 2-0 down in the first game at Goodison.
"We showed a lot of character and determination to fight back and gain a draw.
"Goodison is a tough place to go, but we proved then we can compete with them and we will be trying to do the same again.
"We have four massive home games now. We managed to pull off a good win at West Brom, but now we go into a tough run of home games.
"We will have 50,000 behind us against Everton and it is up to us to continue what we did in the Sunderland game in the second half.
"We kept that up against West Brom in the first half - now we have to keep up that tempo."
