Everton defender Johnny Heitinga says they can prove themselves top dogs tonight at Liverpool.

The Dutchman is desperate for Everton to prove themselves as the best team in the city.

"There are two teams from Liverpool," Heitinga told evertonfc.com. "Let's show that we are the best team from Liverpool.

"For that game you don't need any motivation. Sunday was a day for recovery, an ice bath, a massage, on the bike and some stretching, then it's preparation for the big game against Liverpool."
