"Hopefully we can keep the winning run going," Everton assistant coach Henry Mooney told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"We played them twice down at their place and lost but we beat them at home. But we want to continue winning and I'm sure we're going to."

The Tigers then make the long journey to play the Scottish Rocks on Sunday in the BBL Cup at Kelvin Hall.
