Felli's Faith In Teammates

Midfielder confident Blues can get back on track this weekend.

Marouane Fellaini is confident Everton can return to winning ways without him this weekend.

The Belgian will serve a one-match ban when Norwich come to Goodison on Saturday.

Fellaini is desperate for his teammates to pick up all three points and is backing them to deliver in his absence.

He told evertontv: "I am frustrated to miss the game because the team needs three points to stay near the top.

"I hope my teammates can win without me. I am confident they can do it; we are playing at home, in front of our fans. The supporters will help the team and I hope we can win the game."

The six-goal midfielder misses the game after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Reading last weekend.

He was cautioned for dissent after disputing the penalty decision which led to the Royals' winning goal.

"It was a stupid yellow card for arguing with the referee," he admitted. "I think he took a bad decision and I talked with him and he gave me a yellow card."
