Everton skipper Jagielka: Weird seeing Liverpool under more pressure

Everton captain Phil Jagielka admits it's a strange feeling going into the Liverpool derby as favourites.

But he insists such tags will mean little come kickoff.

He told the Telegraph: “For whatever reason it seems the red half are getting a bit more stick than the blues. People say we're doing well and they're doing really bad and yet they are only one point behind. It's strange.

“Maybe it's to do with budgets, transfers, player ins and outs. The clubs had totally different summers, with expectations. But we're not both sat with four points. We're both in healthy positions.

“I don't see there being a massive underdog or massive favourite, but maybe you are used to it being so far the other way that it is being built up differently."
