Everton striker Romelu Lukaku says Roberto Martinez's
side need to show more hunger than Liverpool if they
are to win on Sunday.
Romelu Lukaku says whoever is the hungrier out of Everton and
Liverpool will take the spoils in this weekend's Merseyside
derby at Goodison Park.
Everton go into the first meeting between the two rivals this
season having failed to win their last 10 games against
Liverpool in all competitions, but enjoyed a morale-boosting
victory against West Brom on Monday.
Having fallen two goals behind at The Hawthorns, Lukaku
sparked a late comeback with two goals as Roberto Martinez's
side won 3-2 – the Belgian's winner coming with six minutes to
play.
The three points extended Everton's unbeaten run to four
matches and Lukaku says they must show similar hunger if
they are to taste victory on Sunday.
"Monday's win sets everything up really well but the derby is a
different game," Lukaku told the Liverpool Echo.
"It is about the personal pride and the pride for us as a club. The
side that is hungrier is going to win this game on Sunday.
"We went back to Liverpool on Monday night and tried to
recover as soon as possible. It was then that we started
focusing on the derby.
"I will work hard on Sunday like I did at West Brom and
whenever I go on the pitch I want to work hard, help my team-
mates and help us win. I want to win the game and score."
