EVERTON
Everton have won their last five at Goodison Park, Moyes is enthusiast of the team's performance against Chelsea and Manchester Utd (2 wins) “It was a great result and you don't beat the big teams that often so we are delighted. I have said for a while on our day we can be a match for the teams above. We have not got everyone fit but I think it shows the spirit we have got. I think we can play better and I think we will."

LIVERPOOL

A nice draw in Man city last game, Benitez commented: "It was a difficult game. We didn't have clear chances, they didn't have clear chances, but we had more possession and but for the pass in the final third it could have been different. I felt today both teams were defending well and were well organised."

FULHAM
Good sequence of games for Fulham at Craven Cottage, where they have one of the best defence with just 8 goals conceeded in 13 games.
"I thought the victory lay in the hard work and the quality of our defending. We gave them very little time and space to play and we used the ball wisely. We got everything right tonight - the defending and attacking - and on a night like that, we would have been a tough nut to crack for any team." Hodgson said after a great 3-0 against Burnley last week.

HULL CITY
Hull, who missed a chance to move out of the bottom three, twice led, firstly through an early Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink effort and then a penalty from Wolves target Stephen Hunt.
"Defensively the lapses have to stop. We have to minimise the mistakes we're making. Having gone in front twice I'm the more disappointed manager I would imagine." - Brown

SUNDERLAND
The last game goals from Cahill and Donovan secured a comfortable 2-0 win at Goodison Park and extended Sunderland's miserable run.
The team show a very poor form and lack of results. The manager Steve Bruce facing an anxious wait over a series of players.
Bruce is keeping his fingers crossed that Lee Cattermole (back injury and illness), Phil Bardsley (hamstring) and Michael Turner (knee) could resume training over the weekend.
Kieran Richardson (calf) is unlikely to be available, while Anton Ferdinand (ankle) has yet to return to training, but John Mensah and Boudewijn Zenden have suffered no reaction following their respective returns.

Bolton, unbeaten in four matches, will again be without long-term injury absentees Joey O'Brien and Sean Davis.

ARSENAL

Arsenal are top of the current form table
The last match against Aston Villa captain Cesc Fabregas came off the bench to inspire the Gunners to a 3-0 win over Aston Villa which hauls them back into the Barclays Premier League title race.
The Spaniard, who had been out with a hamstring problem, netted a superb free-kick on 65 minutes and then scored a fine breakaway goal before being substituted as a precaution.

MANCHESTER CITY

New manager Roberto Mancini takes charge of Manchester City for the first time. City are aiming for a third successive home win while Stoke City have taken one point from a possible nine.
