| Stephane Henchoz backs Roberto Martinez to increase pressure on Brendan Rodgers |
FORMER Liverpool defender Stephane Henchoz believes Everton will go into the Merseyside derby with Liverpool on Sunday as favourites.
The Reds claimed a morale-boosting 3-2 win over Aston Villa over the weekend, but sit ninth in the Premier League after picking up just 11 points in seven games.
And Henchoz, who spent six years at Anfield, believes Everton are capable of piling the pressure on under-fire boss Brendan Rodgers with a win at Goodison Park.
"It’s a massive game, especially after the start to the season that Liverpool had," the former defender said.
"Obviously, as a [Liverpool] player you have two games that the fans really want to win.

"They lost the first one [3-1 to Manchester United], so Rodgers is under pressure. He needs a result and he needs them quickly.
"I think Everton are favourites at the moment after their great comeback against West Brom on Monday night and I think Liverpool will really have to perform if they are to get something out of the match."
