Toffees look to bounce back from Reading upset when they square off against the rejuvenated Canaries on Saturday.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes’ troops will be eager to overcome the disappointment of losing out to the relegation entrenched Royals last week, which forced them to lose their grip on the fourth spot.
The Toffees currently occupy the fifth place in the table and will look to make use of the home advantage to get back to winning ways.
However, in order to do that, they will need to fight off their slack recent form. The blue Merseyside club have only managed a single win in their last six league matches and have often been guilty of profligacy in front of goal.
On the other hand, Norwich will go into the fixture booming with confidence after stunning Manchester United last Saturday at the Carrow Road. Earlier, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and will be determined to further establish
their reputation of being the giant killers.

Prediction
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019 3 : 1 Norwich City
The Toffees may have struggled to chalk out wins recently, but that has not happened without them playing some beautiful and attacking football. Moyes’ unit have at times been virtually unplayable at home. It is the writer’s opinion that they will be able
to subdue the in-form Canaries with relative ease.
