TIM CAHILL reckons a 'buzzing' Everton have come into form just at the right time ahead of Saturday's Merseyside derby at Anfield.
The previously goal-shy Blues, who had netted just 21 times in 28 Premiership games before Fulham's visit to Goodison 10 days ago, have now bagged seven in their last two matches.
Cahill helped himself to two of Everton's four goals against Aston Villa on Saturday and revealed that confidence is now high in the camp thanks to a New Year revival which followed a woeful first half of the campaign.
He said: "The boys are absolutely flying. We're getting better and better and it is only what we deserve.
"It is good to see all the lads buzzing. We are looking strong so we have got to look to push forward."
Everton went into the last derby at Goodison on December 28 on the back of successive 4-0 thrashings - including a Boxing Day drubbing at Villa.
But Saturday's revenge mission over David O'Leary's side extended their impressive run since losing 3-1 to Liverpool to just one defeat in 11 Premiership outings.
The sequence has also included six consecutive Everton home victories in the league for the first time since the Premiership began.
