Stewart Downing believes it would not be easy for Everton

Stewart Downing believes it would not be easy for Everton to get past his team Middlesbrough in the Round of 4 in League Cup.

Middlesbrough, bubbling with confidence at the moment having eliminated the mighty Red Devils in the quarters, will face Everton at the Riverside Stadium.

Despite the fact that it would be their home game, Boro would not be the favourites going into it.

However, according to Downing, the opposition should be concerned of them considering their performances of late.
The 31-year old winger, who had struck successfully for Middlesbrough in the penalty shootouts against Manchester United the other day at Old Trafford, said, “Everton is a strong team, but, it would take them their best game if they are to emerge victorious on Tuesday.”
