...that this matchup is one of former European Cup Winners Cup champions? Werder won the title in 1992 and Everton in 1985.
... that this is a showdown of two veteran coaches? Thomas Schaaf is the longest serving head coach in the Bundesliga (since 1999 in office and his 412 Bundesliga matches rank him 12th all-time in Bundesliga history) and he faces Scot David Moyes (since 2002, 351 Premier League matches). Moyes is only the fourth head coach to pass the 350-match mark for one club in England's top flight along with Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Harry Redknapp.
... that Werder's centre backs can expect a showdown with header monster? Australian Tim Cahill of Everton scored the most goals by header in the Premier League last season.
