Everton youngster Rodwell keen to face in-form Sunderland winger Welbeck

Everton midfielder Jack Rodwell hopes to see action against Sunderland winger Danny Welbeck tomorrow.

Rodwell is good friends with the on-loan Manchester United man.

He told evertonfc.com: "I have played against Danny Welbeck all my life. When we were academy players we had some good battles when he was at Manchester United and I was playing centre half.

"He is deceptively quick, he's skilful, has a really good touch and is an all-round good player, but I'm sure our back four can handle him.

"I made my Premier League debut there, but it seems a long time ago and I can't remember much about it."
