Everton striker Romelu Lukaku has stated that the "hungrier" team will win this weekend's Merseyside derby.
The Toffees take on city rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park on Sunday, with the hosts sitting fifth in the Premier League and the visiting Reds ninth.
Everton came from two goals down to beat West Bromwich Albion earlier this week, and Lukaku says that Roberto Martinez's men will have to show a similar fighting spirit if they are to get the better of Liverpool.
"Monday's win sets everything up really well but the derby is a different game," the Belgian told the Liverpool Echo. "It is about the personal pride and the pride for us as a club. The side that is hungrier is going to win this game on Sunday.
"We went back to Liverpool on Monday night and tried to recover as soon as possible. It was then that we started focusing on the derby.
"I will work hard on Sunday like I did at West Brom and whenever I go on the pitch I want to work hard, help my team-mates and help us win. I want to win the game and score."
Everton have failed to beat Liverpool in their last 10 meetings.
