Rafa Benitez asks angry Everton fans to back their out-of-form side in Wednesday's Merseyside derby with Liverpool after Toffees booed their own team after seventh game without a win at Brentford last week

Rafa Benitez has urged Everton's angry fans to back their out-of-form team in the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool on Wednesday night as the Toffees look to 'put things right'.

Everton's away supporters were livid with their own team immediately after Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Brentford, with Toffees fans showing V signs to their players and shouting abuse at them.

The result put Everton boss Benitez under serious pressure after seven league games without a win, with the Spaniard claiming before this week's derby with Liverpool that he can understand why the fans are so upset.
