Everton defender Bryan Oviedo believes that they need to step up their game against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Saturday.

The Toffees have made an indifferent start to the 2014/15 season and suffered a 3-0 away defeat against Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in the third round of the Capital One Cup on Tuesday.

Oviedo, who can play in left midfield and as a left-back, started the game against the Swans and wants everyone in the Everton team to improve ahead of their Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield.

"Maybe the result is not good,” the 24-year-old Costa Rica international told Everton’s official website.

“Now we need to go home and look at what happened in the game and be ready for the next game because it is the most important one.

"The most important game now is the derby next Saturday."
