愛華頓周日作客剛於歐洲賽出局的曼聯，將有三名主將缺陣。

「拖肥糖」有門將馬田受傷，中場卡希爾及艾迪達亦需停賽。

馬田於上仗對布力般流浪時受傷，其位置將由李察胡禮代替。

而卡希爾早前停賽三仗，今仗亦無緣上陣；艾迪達則因累積五張黃牌而停賽一場。

曼聯方面，前鋒雲尼斯杜萊亦因累積五張黃牌，今仗需要停賽，估計其正選前鋒位置將由法國前鋒沙夏取代。

紅魔失威摸和拖肥


【明報專訊】曼聯在歐聯分組賽出局後仍未走出低谷，在周一凌晨的英超聯賽主場1:1逼和「拖肥糖」愛華頓，領隊費格遜苦澀表示妒忌車路士後防穩固。英國博彩公司更落井下石，將費爵爺季尾離隊的賠率降低至1.6倍。



近况回勇的愛華頓作客曼聯毫無懼色，開賽3分鐘便由麥法頓窄角度射破雲達沙十指關先開紀錄，曼聯及後僅憑傑斯妙射扳成平手。領隊費格遜拒絕批評球員表現，卻投訴球證執法水準﹕「球員為求爭勝已經孤注一擲，但急於全取3分反而影響下半場表現。下半場我們應該獲判12碼，但球證一如以往並未判罰﹗」曼聯現已落後榜首的車路士12分，爭標前景難以樂觀，費爵爺說﹕「車路士多場比賽都僅以1:0小勝，不得不歸功他們的後防滴水不漏，這的確讓我妒忌﹗」

費爵爺補充有信心在本月餘下的所有比賽全勝而回，但博彩分司卻看淡他的前途，季尾離隊賠率由2.5倍急跌至1.6倍。另外有報道指曼聯將於下月買入阿積士中場尼祖迪莊，以填補堅尼離隊後的空缺。

愛華頓穩勝韋斯咸


(綜合報道)

愛華頓在周日造訪曼聯表現大獲好評，今晚在英超主場出戰韋斯咸自然信心十足。事實上，愛華頓近期有回勇之勢，而韋斯咸作客演出卻差強人意，加上愛華頓近年主場對韋斯咸亦未嘗敗績，今仗主勝穩開。聶品二世



　　近況回勇的愛華頓，在周日造訪曼聯更令紅魔捏一把汗，差點便能全取三分。的確，從愛華頓近三仗二勝一和的表現來看，球隊目前正在復甦當中，氣勢亦較早前增強不少，今晚主場對戰韋斯咸，取勝把握亦較高。

　　相比之下，韋斯咸近況不穩，近六仗僅取得二勝一和三負，其中作客表現更予人「危危乎」之感，近五場作客賽事中，僅能以二比一擊敗狀態低沉的伯明翰，其餘四仗僅一和三負而已。

　　同時，兩軍近年對賽，愛華頓亦佔優，雙方近六次對陣，「拖肥糖」便取得三勝二和一負。

　　事實上，若計算愛華頓在主場對戰韋斯咸的成績，愛華頓便更勝一籌，近九次於葛迪遜公園球場對戰，取得七勝二和的不敗成績，可見愛華頓今晚佔主場之利，應可趁着近期勇態再勝一仗，今仗主勝相當穩陣。

Moyes tips fit-again Valente to impress

Everton boss David Moyes expects full-back Nuno Valente to prove his international class after making a stop-start entrance to English football.

Moyes: Has faith in defender.

The Portuguese left-back was recruited by manager David Moyes from Porto in the summer following a strong recommendation from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

Everton's fans had little time to make a judgement about Valente, who won the Champions League and UEFA Cup with Mourinho at Porto, before he sustained a hamstring strain during Everton's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Goodison Park in October.

After more than a month out, Valente returned to Everton's line-up for Sunday's draw at Manchester United and Moyes is confident he can now begin to show his true quality.

'He played very well on Sunday,' said Moyes.

'He's got all the qualities you'd expect of the Portuguese left-back.

'He'll play in the World Cup for Portugal, he's got a Champions League medal and a UEFA Cup medal and you don't play regularly at left-back for those type of clubs and those countries if you're a mug.

'Like anybody else, it can take time to settle into a new country. When he got injured against Chelsea he just looked like he was beginning to settle and his performances were being raised game by game and I thought he showed that against Manchester United.'

Valente came back into an Everton side brimming with self-belief, and after only one defeat in the last seven matches, they hope to extend that positive run with victory over West Ham at Goodison Park tonight.

Everton's recent run has enabled them to climb the table after a desperate start to the season when they won only one of their first nine league games and crashed out of both the Champions League and UEFA Cup at the first hurdles.

But Moyes now believes the self-belief is back among the squad as they face a tough schedule of seven matches in December, including home games to come against Bolton and Liverpool.

'A lot of it is down to the players' confidence and being more comfortable on the ball and generally just playing much better,' explained Moyes.

'The players have always been the same, but the wins have made them relax more, they are more comfortable on the ball and all round they are doing better.

'Getting good results against the top teams does lots for for the morale because it makes everybody believe much more in what's happening and it makes the players understand that what they're doing is right.'

Everton will be favourites to continue their recent run against a West Ham side who have won only once on their travels this season despite an encouraging start to their Premiership return.

'I think West Ham have done very well this season,' added Moyes. 'A little bit like Wigan, they've come up from the lower division winning most of their games.

'They've got some good results which has given them great confidence and self-belief that they can do it in the Premier League and they'll be feeling they are a long way towards reaching that first objective of staying in the Premier League.'

Everton v Bolton: PreviewPA


Sam Allardyce hopes to inflict more disappointment on David Moyes at Goodison Park after both Bolton and Everton missed out on the acquisition of Roy Keane.

Allardyce insisted Wanderers were serious alternatives to Celtic in the chase for free agent Keane, who quit Manchester United last month.

The 34-year-old, who also interested Everton, opted to join the club he supported as a youngster rather than spearhead the Lancashire club's challenge for UEFA Cup honours and a top-six Barclays Premiership finish.

``We will probably both cry over our beer after the game but I hope I am not crying as much as Dave (Moyes) because we have got a result against him!'' declared Allardyce, ahead of the match with Everton.

``Not being able to clinch Roy's signing is particularly disappointing because he is a world-class player .

``From my point of view it was a top-class player, who, on January 1, I could put into the team and say 'this man is going to make us better'.

``I had no doubts at all about that. Where I can go and find that now is virtually impossible.''

Keane suggested he gave serious thought to a move closer to home but wanted a change of scene rather than continue his career in England, following 13 years with United.

``We were right there as one of the two or three clubs he was going to choose from,'' added Allardyce.

``When you come so close it is an even bigger disappointment than just a straightforward 'no'.''

One former international midfielder who is thrilled to be involved with Bolton this weekend is Welshman Gary Speed, a lifelong Everton fan and former Toffee.

``I love playing against them, especially at Goodison Park,'' said Speed. ``I supported them as a kid and it is a fantastic stadium.

``They beat us last season and at the start of this campaign, so it would be nice to get one over on them. However we know it will be a difficult game.''

Bolton totally dominated the meeting between the two teams at the Reebok back in August only to lose by a single goal which gave Everton their only points in their opening eight matches of the campaign.

Jamaican full-back Ricardo Gardner is doubtful with a hamstring injury after he failed to reappear for the second half of the 1-1 draw with Sevilla in midweek which sealed a place in the final 32 of the UEFA Cup.

One definite change at the back is enforced with Tal Ben Haim serving a suspension.

Richard Wright is hoping to make the most of his opportunity to help Everton towards the top half of the Barclays Premiership.

Former England goalkeeper Wright should retain his place for the visit of Bolton with first-choice Nigel Martyn still battling a groin injury.

After waiting for his chance this season, Wright came on as a substitute in the win over Blackburn and impressed in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.

But he was beaten twice in midweek, the first a freakish own goal from captain David Weir, as West Ham shattered a sequence of 14 points from seven outings.

Nevertheless, Wright is hoping to keep his place between the sticks even when Nigel Martyn returns.

``Not playing makes you hungry,'' admitted Wright.

``The hardest thing is not having that Saturday night feeling: you have gone out there and done your best, gone home and seen the family with that feeling of achieving something from the weekend.

``I wasn't getting that and I need that. That is the drug in football.

``When you are sitting on the sidelines, any game that comes along you want to play in.

``The games are coming thick and fast so hopefully I can get some games under my belt and perform the way I know I can and enjoy the football.''

David Moyes is challenging the team to produce a run of form like that which arrested their early-season slump.

``We have to look at the bigger picture,'' he said.

``If you take the last eight games we have been in a good stretch of form.

``If we get one of these every so often where we win four or five and draw a couple I will settle for that.''

Tim Cahill returns from suspension tomorrow but Moyes may have to do without James McFadden after the Scotland international limped out of the defeat to the Hammers with a foot injury.

McFadden, who caused problems in the 20 minutes he was on the field and set up James Beattie's goal, appeared to suffer the injury in a challenge and will be given a late fitness test.
