Bullard was sidelined for 18 months following the injury which threatened to curtail his career.

Bullard: "It has been in the back of my mind and it was one of the first games I looked for at the beginning of the season.

"I love playing at St James' Park, it just so happens to be the place where I did my knee.

"I am looking forward to going back there. I'll touch the place where I got injured and hope it never happens again.

"It has been a lucky ground for us. For us as players and as a team a win there could put us in a very good position. So hopefully we can go there and get one.

"The win at the weekend boosted all the boys' confidence and in training it's better than it's ever been - it's amazing what a win does to you, it's just a great feeling.

"Everton are a great team and they are pushing for that fourth spot but the crowd at our ground was the best it ever has been. It was a great atmosphere and to come away beating them 1-0 was great for our confidence.

"We've got a team of really good lads. The last 10 games we said was the start of our season and we're off to a good start having drawn on and won one."
