| 21/10 | Marouane Fellaini is 21/10 with Bet365 to score at any time against City on Saturday |
The 28-year-old told the club's official website: “Everton away is always very tough. It’s a game that they always want to win and it is going to be hard for us.
“They will be hungry too, after they lost to Wigan last weekend. Fellaini is very good and a very tall player, so he can be difficult to deal with.”
“They play a lot of long balls and they are very strong in set-pieces.
“Their full-backs overlap a lot, especially Leighton Baines on the left side and he can deliver the ball very well.
“So, defensively we have to be very organised and fight for every ball and with the quality we have we need to create and take our chances when they come along.”
