Nikicia Jelavic has his fingers crossed that he can stage a repeat of his Old Trafford heroics at the weekend.
The Croatian striker remembers scoring twice at the stadium for Everton when the team came away with a 4-4 draw and explained: “We had lost against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final and we went there still thinking about the game at Wembley.”
Speaking to the official site he said: “To be honest we didn’t think we could come away with anything but we had a great game and I managed to score twice. There were eight goals and with that draw, United lost points as they looked to win the title.
This is something new and I am looking forward to being involved in the game. It is always a great atmosphere playing against Manchester United and it is a great stadium.
We have already proved this season that we can play against the big teams. We are a great team and have a great bunch of players.
We have a couple of injuries at the moment but we still have a good team and we can take some points against United.
It will be a tough game for us as they are playing in front of their own fans, but we want to make it tough for them and come away with a positive result.”
