Indeed they are , Everton Under-21s' game at Norwich City kicks off at 7pm tonight. This from the OS
Midfielder
Antony Evans is hoping to extend his recent run of goalscoring form when Everton Under-21s head to Norwich City on Monday evening.
Evans broke the deadlock for
David Unsworth's side in an eventual 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough last time out, before heading off to get his first ever taste of international football with England Under-18s.
After making his Young Lions debut in a 3-2 win in Austria, the Fazakerley-born 17-year-old was again on the scoresheet as he picked up his second cap in a 4-1 rout of Republic of Ireland at St George's Park.
And, having enjoyed a profitable March, Evans is now desperate to prolong his purple patch - starting at Carrow Road.
"I managed to get a goal on my last appearance for the Under-21s, so hopefully I'll get a game against Norwich and take it from there," he told
evertontv. "Unsy has mentioned it to me - in training he has been saying 'Just run forward and think goals'. That's my game at the minute.
"We're in good form. Some of the lads are out on loan but we've got a good togetherness and we're confident we can have a good finish to the campaign."
Evans has appeared regularly for both the Under-18s and Under-21s this season and says he hopes to maintain a foot in both camps with glory potentially on the horizon for the two Everton youth sides.
"I've played a few Under-18s games, a few Under-21s games and it's getting that right balance of where I want to be," he said. "I obviously want to be with the Under-21s but I'm happy to play with the Under-18s and get as many games in as I can.
"The Under-18s are on a massive high after winning the Dallas Cup and now we want to finish our season by winning the league, and the Under-21s have got a semi-final [in the Liverpool Senior Cup] and a final [in the Lancashire Senior Cup]. So, I’ll be hoping to get a game for both sides, because there's so much left to play for."
