Everton’s Ashley Williams targets Manchester United win to get over Merseyside derby woes

Everton defender Ashley Williams believes Tuesday’s Premier League visit to Manchester United will be an opportunity to get over the Merseyside derby defeat and his side must be focused on delivering a result at Old Trafford.

Everton, who are seventh in the league, slumped to a 3-1 loss against third-placed Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday and Williams wants a quick return to winning ways against Jose Mourinho’s side.

“There’s always another game, and we’re fortunate that there’s a massive game to get up for just around the corner,” Williams told evertonfc.com.

“The loss against Liverpool hurt us a lot but ... we just have to get over the derby and get fully focused (for Man United) because it’s as important.”

Despite their stuttering home form, fifth-placed United are on a 19-game unbeaten streak in the league.
