Everton defender Distin up for Liverpool clash

Everton defender Sylvain Distin says he'll be up for their derby clash with Liverpool.

The Frenchman is determined to do all he can to ensure it is the visiting fans who leave Anfield with a spring in their step and extra bite in their banter this Sunday.

"It represents a lot for the fans," Distin told evertontv. "I've seen that after the result at home - people still talk about it so it would be great to win away. I think it's a special place to win so to get the three points (at Anfield) would be great.

"For me it is one of the biggest games in the Premier League. I know how important it is for the fans, but I didn't grow up with that so maybe it doesn't mean as much to me as it does for the fans.

"But I know how much it means to them so we definitely want to do well. For mistakes that have gone before, if you have a great game against Liverpool people will forgive you so you definitely want to do well!"
