Everton boss Frank Lampard says they'll be ready for Tottenham on Saturday night.

The last time Lampard's side faced Tottenham was earlier this year in March when Spurs thrashed Everton 5-0.

"I remember the game well, it sticks in the mind," said Lampard. "It's easy to casually look at the result but I know the detail behind it, the options we had on the day. I'm not belittling the team but we suffered from 20 mins onwards. Tottenham had a strong performance - it's a long time ago now, there's a lot of personnel changes and we've progressed. It's in the back of our minds but it's not really relevant to the game this weekend.

"The Premier League will always throw up difficulties. People probably make us underdogs in a lot of these games, let's understand that and can see what we can do.

"We've shown this season already we can go against people's opinions of us - before the season people said we were going down and I was the first one to be leaving. there's nothing better than proving people wrong.

"We've got into a position where if we take two or three hits we have to come back stronger. We took a lot of hits last year and the problem at that time was that our confidence was on the floor. We have to look at that now and think can we be stronger, mentally, as a club. It's a good test for us."
