If you wanted to bet on Over 2.5 Goals in this match you would get a worse price than this bet at some bookies, which doesnt make sense to me because Everton are not going to win this game 3 or more to nil, Thats not Everton's style...Everton's style is to get a goal ahead and then sit on that goal and worry the fans to death for the rest of the game. I'd know, I've followed the Blues all my life....and whilst I think David Moyes has done a great job in turning us from a team courting relegation most seasons to a team challenging the top 6 he definately has limited tactical nous. But then he was a centre half all his playing career so maybe thats what all the defensive tactics are about.

Anyway I could go on forever about that....back to the bet....Yeah so 1.95 for both teams to score so we get the 1-1 insurance rather than go for the overs. I think 1-1 could well be the final score here too but as a supporter I hope its a win for the blues. Everton are unbeaten in 6 (league, Cup, UEFA) matches and have scored in every home game this season bar when Man United visited Goodison. I just watched an interview with David Moyes and he claims to have a fully fit squad to choose from. That means Mikel Arteta is available and he creates a lot of Evertons chances. Andy Johnson could also return from his ankle injury and James Vaughan is available too. Add Cahill, Yakubu, Anichebe and McFadded and you can see Everton now have an abundance of attacking talent available to them and I dont think Sunderland will be able to keep a clean sheet at what must be a very difficult ground to come and play at. After all Sunderland have conceeded in practically every match they've played in this season.

Everton have also conceeded a few times this season...In fact they only have 2 clean sheets - away at Derby and at home to Middlesbro .... well Derby are terrible and Middlesbro had 3 Golden chances to score in that game. Everton just have this habit of inviting pressure on themselves when they really should be doing the pressuring themselves. With Yobo, Lescott and Hibbert in the back four there is always the chance of a defensive cock up too, I've seen a few of them this season already... I'm sure Sunderland will get a few chances tomorrow and Tim Howard will be called into action.

Sunderland have shown they can score and have a potentially very good striker in Kenwyne Jones. They have scored in 7 of their last 8 matches and have Andy Cole and Dean Whitehead back in contention for places. They are used to going behind and have scored 10 of their 13 goals in the second half with 6 of those coming in the last 15 mins. I think they can score tomorrow.

Good Luck............
