We go into our final away game of the season, against a team not in the greatest of form, but needing points to push for Europe – and we need a win to keep any faint hopes alive.

I think neither side will get the three points, and we’ll get a 1-1 draw, with Xhaka getting a rare goal for us. If we can stop the pathetic excuse for a Sunderland manager David Moyes from being happy, that’s a good day for me. I still blame him largely for what happened to SAFC during and after his gutless season in charge.

Bear a grudge? You bet. ‘The Champion’ Malc Dugdale predicts… Score prediction: Everton 0 Sunderland 1 Sunderland’s first goalscorer: Granit Xhaka If we want to stay in the hunt for Europe we have to win, and I think we will, but narrowly.

Granit in my view should have added more goals this season, and today I am expecting him to lead from the front and bag a goal. The lads need to be tight at the back, have a go (we have nothing to lose) and see if we can keep our narrow chances of Europe alive. One up on Moyes, and let’s see how we do at home to Chelsea.
