McCarthy: Arsenal is going to be the big one
Everton midfielder James McCarthy has said that this weekend’s clash with Arsenal is going to be a big one and hopes the fans will come out in their droves to drive the team on.
McCarthy wants revenge for their FA Cup defeat last month and although he knows victory won’t come easy, the Republic of Ireland midfielder says they will certainly give it their best shot.
“Arsenal at home is going to be a big one,” McCarthy told evertontv. “I’m sure the fans will come out in their numbers, hopefully we can put things right from last time we played them and push for that Champions League spot.
“They put us out of the cup and it is never nice to get beat. It’s going to be a big ask but we will give it our best shot.
“It’s in the balance and if we want it, it’s there in front of us, we can go and give it our best shot. As a squad we believe we can do it but there is a long way to go.
“You need to enjoy the occasion and the challenge. If you don’t then you are in the wrong game to be fair.”
