Pickford highlights the significance of this match, saying that it will be a memorable occasion. He notes that the pressure will be higher due to the sentimental value of the game.
Pickford shares a story about a previous match against Crystal Palace in 2022, where Everton had to win to avoid relegation. They came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2, with Dele Alli making a significant impact after his substitution.
Pickford credits the Goodison crowd for their role in the comeback win, saying that the noise from the fans played a part in the team's success. He also mentions a more recent match against Bournemouth, where Everton controlled the game and won thanks to a goal from Abdoulaye Doucoure.
