Once again, David Moyes' men failed to win at home last weekend against Middlesbrough, which suggests that their style of play is better suited on their travels. After all, only Chelsea and Liverpool have won more away matches this season, and Everton are a massive 15/8 (Skybet) to land the three points at the JJB Stadium.

The Toffees have won their past two matches on the road, at Bolton and West Ham, although they have left it late on both occasions. It certainly seems like a good time to be playing Wigan, who have failed to win in front of their own supporters for nearly two months. The Latics were thrashed 4-0 at home to Villa a month ago, while an organised Stoke team forced a goalless draw in the last match at the JJB. Nevertheless, Steve Bruce's men are slight 13/8 (Boylesports) favourites to win just their second home match of the campaign.

Much depends on whether Amr Zaki and Emile Heskey (9/1 Skybet) have recovered from their respective injuries, with the home side's attack looking toothless without this formidable pair. The former is a 6/1 chance (Coral) to open the scoring, thus making it a double figure tally for the season. It might be worth a small bet on Ryan Taylor (25/1 Blue Square) who was the first name on the scoresheet at St James' Park last Saturday.

Nevertheless, it's hard not to side with Everton, especially at even money (Boylesports) on the Draw No Bet market. After all, they are unbeaten in five matches and starting to look more like the team that finished fifth in the Premier League last season. Yakubu returned to scoring ways against Boro, and he's 7/1 (Blue Square) to get the Toffees off the mark, while Louis Saha has three in as many games. The Frenchman is a lumpy 11/4 (William Hill) to be on the scoresheet during Monday's televised clash.
