We have nothing to fear from Liverpool, says Everton midfielder Leon Osman[LNB]LEON OSMAN reckons Everton will look forward to next week's Merseyside derby with confidence after rejuvenating their league campaign and sending out an emphatic FA Cup message.[LNB]The Toffees were more like their old selves as they overcame title-chasing Tottenham 2-1 with a performance full of attacking intent in the Premier League last week.[LNB]They followed that up by delivering on their promise to take the FA Cup seriously by crushing Scunthorpe 5-1 in their third-round tie at Glanford Park yesterday.[LNB]Their next game is away at fierce rivals Liverpool next Sunday, a match which will now mark the official homecoming of Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish as new Reds boss.[LNB] It is sure to be an emotional occasion but Everton are keen not to let their newfound momentum slip.[LNB]Midfielder Leon Osman said: 'We are really looking forward to it, it is our next game.[LNB]'Hopefully with a little bit of confidence we've got now going into it we can get the right result.[LNB]'I am sure the change of manager will affect them in a way but there is nothing we can do about that.[LNB]'We have got to concentrate on ourselves, take no notice of what is happening off the field there and go there and put on a show that we know we are capable of.'
