Wayne Rooney believes Everton will get a draw away to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
The Merseyside rivals are preparing to face each other in the Premier League, in what is a vital game for both.
Liverpool have only dropped two points all season, but they have struggled to find top gear of late.
Everton, meanwhile, are hovering ominously above the relegation zone, with Marco Silva under huge pressure to save his job.
Despite the obvious gulf in quality between the two sides, Rooney is remaining positive.
In an interview with Back of the Net on Amazon Prime, the boyhood Everton fan thinks the Blues will leave Anfield with a point to show for their efforts:
I think Everton will get a draw. The way it has been going has been tough. I think they’ll pull together.
It’s a massive game for the city and, if Everton win, it could stop Liverpool winning the title.

There is no denying that Liverpool are strong favourites on Wednesday evening, but form does often go out of the window in derby matches.
Everton have drawn plenty of games against the Reds in recent years and the result is no foregone conclusion.
Liverpool will have to play well to get all three points.
