Australian midfielder Tim Cahill believes arch rivals Liverpool
could be feeling threatened by Everton after next weekend's
Merseyside derby.
The Toffees' victory at Wigan on Saturday stretched an
unbeaten run to nine games and continued their ascent of the
Premier League.
Ninth-placed Everton endured a torrid start to the season but
are now only nine points behind Liverpool, who sit fifth, with a
game in hand.
Cahill therefore thinks Rafa Benitez's side could become
increasingly nervous in their fight for European football.
He said in the Daily Mirror: "We're excited about what lies
ahead. It feels all the more special because we went through hard
times earlier in the season and now we are getting what we deserve.
"We've worked hard to turn it around and we've still got a
lot of players coming back from injury who are going to find it
hard to get in the team.
"The derby is one of our big games of the season and we're
looking forward to it. It's a game we always relish and so do our
fans.
"We'll go there and give everything and hopefully the result
goes our way. We just need to worry about ourselves and try and
keep on improving.
"But if we get a result against them they might well be
looking over their shoulders at us."
