Having played for Everton, it`s no surprise that Andy Johnson would like to turn over the red-half of the city big time today.
Therefore, it`s also no surprise that the forward, who Fulham signed from Everton last summer, features heavily in the tabloid build up to the kick-off.
Speaking about the fixture, Johnson predicts that Liverpool will witness, first-hand, just what sort of football we`re capable of playing and what sort of result we`re seeking when he comments,
“There are no favours for anyone in this game – we are out to win.”
“We want to get into Europe but that is a different kind of pressure. I have had a couple of texts from Everton friends and they are not too keen to see Liverpool win the league.”
“I will be doing my utmost to score and win. And I think we have a better chance of beating Liverpool than we had against Manchester United.”
“The boys have been playing fantastic football all season but I think we will see the next level now.”
“We can play with a bit more freedom. We are enjoying it, everyone is happy, there is great morale in the dressing room and that is why I think we have got the results we have got this season.”
Clearly, reaching that mythical 40 points has seen a weight lifted from the teams shoulders and if Andy is right we`re about to see a bolder, more attacking Fulham.
Let`s just hope we don`t fall victim to that sucker counter-attack Liverpool are famous for!
