Neville: Everton’s toughest month to date

Phil Neville believes February’s fixtures are probably the biggest he has faced at Everton.

The Toffees have upcoming matches against Liverpool, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd and Spurs as well as two fixtures against Sporting Lisbon.

“This February will probably be the biggest month since I’ve been at the club because of the magnitude of each game we will be playing in,” said Neville.

“Each will be so important in terms of picking up points. We couldn’t have asked for a tougher fixture list. It’s a fixture list that must get every Evertonian excited.

“If you had asked us two months ago, we might have been scared of the challenge in February. But now we’ve got our form back we’re thinking, ‘Come on let’s enjoy it and not be fearful of what’s ahead of us’.”
