Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard is hoping for derby revenge on Liverpool.

Howard admits last season's FA Cup defeat to Liverpool still burns.

"Look, it was a big occasion," Howard told the Daily Mail. "It was one we felt we were right for. We felt it was our moment. Not because of destiny or anything like that. We felt we were playing better, which we were. Our form was excellent.

"For us to lose like we did having played better in large parts of the game - that is my view, they will have theirs - was just so ... look, they just shone when it was time and we didn't. We were on the cusp of a final and then we weren't. It was just heartbreaking.

"Finishing above them last season was the least we could do, to be honest. We lost twice to them in the league, then lost the heartbreaker. It really felt dreary, as far as we were concerned. The only glimmer of hope we had was to finish above them to say, 'You know what? We got one over them'."
