Boxing Day at Riverside

After all the leftovers and just one more helping of Christmas pudding, Everton supporters will be able to cozy up and watch Middlesbrough at Riverside this Boxing Day. While the Toffees sit comfortably at seventh in the table, the climb to fifth which is presently occupied by Arsenal is a steep one. With five points to make up for a Europa League slot, Everton needs to keep its brilliant run on the road against Gareth Southgate’s side. ‘Boro is looking fully-fit with only Gary O’Neil questionable and have the striking duo of Tuncay Şanlı and Egyptian international Mido ready to go. David Moyes will need to be at his tactical best as Louis Saha and Victor Anichebe are still out along with Leon Osman and Joseph Yobo both being questionable.
