Not hopeful , especially after Villa beating them last week.

We may have been on the receiving end of The Man City (3-2 Brighton) backlash in last May's 5-0 season closer, but these guys are there for the taking.
When you read quotes about managers disappointed with opposing players' conduct - under the spotlight of being fired - you know the team either come out fighting, or they simply quit.
United had a point to prove in August's 4-0 preseason mauling.
With (hopefully) a fit again Calvert-Lewin AND Rondon as a substitute wildcard, not to forget Doucoure's 2nd-half runs into the opposing penalty area last February, we now have the ammunition required to force the issue.
United are still equal to just about anyone in possession.
The game will be won and lost by how well WE can use the ball - when WE have it. This will require a lot of courage and confidence. Plus maturity in decision-making.
We've done this before, when they were in top form - except that terrible United off-side trap.
It's a delicious fixture to call, if nothing else...

TEAM NEWS
Rafa Benitez has confirmed Everton will again be without Seamus Coleman, Richarlison, Andre Gomes and Dominic Calvert-Lewin for Saturday’s Premier League clash at Manchester United (12.30pm BST) – but says the quartet are improving “little by little” as they target a return to competitive action.
Benitez added Jean-Philippe Gbamin is “fully fit” and available for selection after recovering from a quadriceps issue – but Alex Iwobi has a "little problem" and is doubtful for the Old Trafford contest.
Fellow midfielder Fabian Delph is expected to miss out with a shoulder injury.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference at USM Finch Farm, Benitez explained: "Seamus Coleman and Dominic [Calvert-Lewin] are not ready yet.
"They are training, they are starting to train on the pitch, little by little, but they are not ready for this game.
"With Richarlison and Andre, it is exactly the same situation. They continue working and they are getting better, but they are not ready for this game.
"Alex has a little problem and I don’t know if he will be available for tomorrow.
"JP [Gbamin] is training again. He is fully fit. It is good news to have him back because we need bodies."

No strikers fit again.
This is going to be a difficult one.
