"So, I think this is very good for the team. We need to keep the momentum going and keep winning games and fighting in every match, to make sure we get our objectives at the end of the season."
Ighalo, who made his Premier League debut for Watford against the Toffees in 2015 admits every game would be tough.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Odion Ighalo has been tipped by Charlie Nicholas to go 'physical' for Manchester United when the Red Devils face Everton on Sunday, March 1, at Goodison Park.
United will travel to Goodison Park in an encounter that will see Carlo Ancelotti's men lock horns with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's boys in their quest for a top-four spot.
And Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas believed the encounter would require more physical struggle because of the Toffees' physical gameplay under the Italian manager, tipping Ighalo to do the rescue magic upfront.
