Previews: Neville confident of derby delight

Everton captain Phil Neville believes Everton can end their 11-year wait for a league victory at Liverpool on Saturday in the Merseyside derby.

"It has been a long time since we won a game at Anfield and everybody knows it is one of the most difficult places to go to and actually win a game," Neville told evertonTV.

"The game is something you have got to concentrate on and just play your game, play the way we have been doing, show the confidence we have been doing and we will be okay."

"It will be a great game for him to notch his first goal, too. He is improving the more he is playing and training," Gerrard told Liverpool's website.

"Vidic has trained for the last few days and hopefully that will bring him into contention for Saturday. Everyone else is okay," manager Alex Ferguson told United's website.

Defender Wayne Bridge is expected to return for Manchester City against Hull City but Roberto Mancini's side are without injured duo Micah Richards and Vincent Kompany.
