Toffees to make McGeady sweat

Everton 2 Norwich 0

McGeady, 27, has never been short of confidence and that is clear to all Irish football supporters, but Everton’s latest recruit will have to believe he has the match fitness to make his Toffees debut this week after his three-and-a-half-year spell in Eastern Europe ended with a move to the Premier League from Spartak Moscow.

The former Celtic winger has not kicked a ball since the end of November, as the Russian league has been on a winter break, and will have to prove his fitness this week to new manager Roberto Martinez if he is to have any chance of making his Premier League debut against West Brom next Monday.
