Phil Neville believes February's fixtures are probably the most intense he has faced during his time at Everton. The 33-year-old England international has been with the club since 2005.

The Toffees have some daunting fixtures on the horizon with Premier League games against Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs in the pipeline.

Everton tackle also have two games against Sporting Lisbon in Europa League action this month.

"This February will probably be the biggest month since I've been at the club because of the magnitude of each game we will be playing in," said Neville.

"Each will be so important in terms of picking up points. We couldn't have asked for a tougher fixture list. It's a fixture list that must get every Evertonian excited.

"If you had asked us two months ago, we might have been scared of the challenge in February. But now we've got our form back we're thinking, 'Come on let's enjoy it and not be fearful of what's ahead of us'."
