Mason Holgate has called on Everton’s home fans to have a “massive” impact again as they attempt to harness the power of Goodison Park against Manchester City.
Everton go into their fixture against the reigning Premier League champions and current table toppers on Saturday evening just two points clear of the relegation zone after Wednesday night’s 1-0 win for Burnley over a Tottenham Hotspur side who had themselves shocked City with a last-gasp 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday.
On the same day, the Blues were sinking to a 2-0 defeat at Southampton and while they have so far lost both their away games under new manager Frank Lampard (also being beaten 3-1 by fellow strugglers Newcastle United), they have won both their home matches.
