Everton fans will have woken up on Tuesday morning in high spirits on the back of a staggering victory against Manchester United.
Not many would have had Everton defying history and securing three points at Old Trafford, but to do it with 10 men shows the spirit of this side.
Tony Bellew has shared his Everton concerns in recent weeks, with the former boxer worried about losing the likes of Iliman Ndiaye.
However, the Blues are finally showing what they are capable of doing under The Friedkin Group as they put together back-to-back wins for only the second time this season.
David Moyes will be well aware of the difficult run of games heading his way over the coming month.
But Bellew has now shared a stunning prediction on the back of what he saw on Monday night at Old Trafford.

What Toney Bellew predicts Everton to do this season
Everton are going to be up against it in the coming weeks having seen Idrissa Gana Gueye sent off for that bizarre incident with Michael Keane.
Moyes is targeting a European finish for Everton this season as the Blues continue their development under the Friedkins.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, Bellew could not hide his excitement after the game, with the 42-year-old sharing a clear message to the Everton owners.
Who was your MOTM vs Man United?
“Now, we’ve got a team and a board who know what they’re doing. They’ve got to back this manager,” he said.
“If David Moyes is backed heavily he’s shown what he can do. Let me tell you, I don’t care what anyone says, Everton are a huge club, we’re bigger than West Ham and he can do more than what he did at West Ham.
“Without a shadow of a doubt, David Moyes can win trophies at Everton and he can get us into Europe.”
Moyes was so impressed with his Everton side as he picked up his very first victory in the Premier League away to his former club.
However, this result has to be a building block for the Toffees. They face Newcastle United at the weekend, and a loss would simply wipe out the hard work at Old Trafford.
Everton are ready to back David Moyes in January
Everton News understands that the Friedkins are ready to support Moyes in January, with the Blues prioritising a new striker signing.
Thierno Barry impressed again on Monday evening, with the youngster’s work rate shining through with the Blues playing with one less man on the pitch.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall silences his critics
It would be harsh to judge Barry on not scoring against United, but the Frenchman is still in search of his first goal this season.
If Everton are to have any chance of lifting silverware or finishing in the European spots, this simply must change.
