Premier League
Saturday 3pm

Everton have not given up hope of challenging for a top-six finish and their strong start to 2017 can continue with a routine victory over Sunderland.

Last season's corresponding fixture was won 6-2 by the Toffees and another handsome victory is on the cards if they reach the standards set in recent home wins over Manchester City (4-0) and Bournemouth (6-3).

Sunderland have just about stayed in the survival scrap but may be low on confidence after losing 4-0 at home to Southampton last time out.

Recommendation
Everton-Everton double result
1pt 11-10 general
