David Moyes's Everton will try and continue their two game winning streak against Michael Laudrup 's Swansea City.
Everton is currently in fifth place behind Chelsea in the Premier League and needs a win to maintain the pace and potentially get them into the top four spots in the standings. During their last game, Everton defeated Cheltenham Town 5-1. Nikica Jelavic scored after 12 minutes and Leighton Baines scored the second on a penalty shot in the 21st minute. Leon Osman scored the third and Seamus Coleman scored in the 58th minute.
During the second half, Marouane Fellaini put the final touches at the 89th minute. During the game Moyes decided to start eight of the players from his previous match with Newcastle just days earlier. That squad also won against Newcastle 2-1.
Swansea City currently stands in 9th place. The team won its last match against Chelsea 2-1 and scored two draws previously. During the game with Chelsea, Michu scored in the 39th minute while Danny Graham scored the second goal during injury time. Chelsea failed to score and Fernando Torres was once again the reason, arguably, in that the striker missed two game-defining chances.
Predictions: Both teams look strong at the moment and both Everton and Swansea will want to continue the momentum they have. A Draw seems fair.
Start Time: 10 a.m. EST
