Big game

Passing a derby test against Merseyside rivals Liverpool on Sunday would see Everton take another sizeable step towards hitting their target, and Jelavic is determined to play his part in helping the Toffees claim local bragging rights. He added: "I have had two bad experiences playing against Liverpool in this country, but I did beat them in a pre-season friendly when I was with Rapid Vienna. "Obviously, it is a big derby and it is a big game for everyone and I want to beat Liverpool with Everton."
