While it certainly didn't start out easily, David Moyes has Everton tucked nicely in the upper half of the table, verging on the all-important top five. Venturing into todays match the Toffees are seventh in the table and have a perfect chance to make up valuable points on Arsenal which continued to slide off yesterday.
David Moyes is pleased with play of late:
"We are in a good league position and the players have performed really well in as far as we have got results and we have come back from behind in several games so that is good."
Everton is reporting a fully-fit squad with both Yakubu and Steven Pienaar healthy and pressing for duty while 'Boro will still be without Mido. Gareth Southgate's club is unbeaten in the previous four matches including handsome victories over 'Villa and Man City.
Enjoy the match, it's about to start and after a miserable 48 hours I finally have an stable internet connection. My apologies for being late with this preview but it has been a trying few days.
