Everton take on Sunderland on Saturday in the Premier League and HITC pundits give their predictions on the likely outcome.

David Moyes’ last return to Goodison sparked his sacking from Manchester United, and I just cannot see a happy return for him here. I expect Everton to finish the season strongly and they should win comfortably here.

The Black Cats appear to be finally running low on lives. Everton could benefit from a weekend off to recharge their batteries, meaning Romelu Lukaku is fit to face the club he scored three times in eleven minutes against earlier in the season.

You never know which Sunderland is going to turn up from week to week, whilst Everton are undefeated in eight. After a nine-goal thriller against Bournemouth, the Toffees slumped to a 0-0 draw against Middlesbrough, but back at home and up against a wobbly Sunderland defence, it could be an unhappy return to Goodison Park for David Moyes.

Sunderland are in free fall right now and if Everton play to their full potential they will heap even more pressure on David Moyes’ side. Home advantage means the Toffees will not slip up against a team that already looks destined for the drop.

Everton have been in fine form lately, while Sunderland have slipped back to the bottom of the Premier League table. The Black Cats’ visit to Goodison Park will see a number of former Toffees returning, not least Moyes of course, but that will not help the Wearsiders against the likes of Lukaku and Barkley. A relatively easy victory for Koeman and co.

Everton love inflicting pain on Moyes, even ending his Manchester United career if I remember rightly? The Toffees have turned Goodison into something of a fortress of late and should win this one comfortably.
