Manchester United boss David Moyes has taken aim at Everton's Roberto Martinez.
Moyes, who enjoyed a rapturous send-off from Everton fans in his final home game last May, knows there will be a very different atmosphere on Sunday.
But he reminded those supporters - and Martinez - that they are building on the foundations he put in place during 11 years on Merseyside.
"Great credit to Roberto but he has a group of players who were always capable of moving up the league," said Moyes. "Don't forget Everton finished above Liverpool last year, and the year before. So it was a great achievement. In a way it should not be a surprise they are doing well. They've been in seventh or eighth place for most seasons recently.
"We also finished in the Champions League. Hopefully in time everyone will look at it and say it was a really good period in Everton's history."
