    Everton goalscorer Beto has been speaking to Sky Sports after today's victory: "I am playing with more confidence and joy. We are playing better football and the team is confident. We want to win every game. Today we deserved to win and it is like this."

    On the fan support: "It means a lot. It means a lot. I just needed to keep working on myself and improving. Maybe I wasn't playing because I wasn't in good fitness or confidence. I am really happy and I love hearing them singing my name."

    On new signing Carlos Alcaraz: "He played really good today. He was close to me and we talked a lot and you can see he is very good. I am really happy for him, he is a good guy."

    Since David Moyes' first match in charge since returning to the club, Everton have picked up 13 points - with no team in the Premier League picking up more.

    Everton have completed a league double over Crystal Palace for the first time since the 2004-05 season - also under manager David Moyes.

    Beto has scored four goals in five Premier League matches under David Moyes, as many as he managed in his 42 league appearances under previous boss Sean Dyche.

    David Moyes' side gave us such great drama at the end of the Merseyside derby, although I must admit I was not watching it properly because I was covering Celtic in the Champions League for Match of the Day.

    Moyes has really got Everton going again but I think he is in for a tough evening here.

    You have to wonder how much Wednesday night will have taken out of the Toffees, and I suspect it was quite a lot.

    Crystal Palace are going well at the moment, and Jean-Philippe Mateta will be hard to stop.

    The Eagles have been steadily climbing the table for a few weeks now and I am expecting that to continue, although it will be close.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-0

    Friday's news conference had a very post-match feel as it was the first time we got to ask Arne Slot about Wednesday's dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton.

    Neither the Liverpool head coach, nor his assistant Sipke Hulshoff, were allowed to speak to the media after being sent off at Goodison Park, but it felt like a day off had certainly helped calm the mood, with Slot returning to his familiar, reflective manner.

    "Emotions got the better of me," admitted the Dutchman, who went on to say if he could go back and act differently he would do.

    Slot refrained from divulging a great deal about his verbal interaction with referee Michael Oliver in respect for the "ongoing process" which will determine the extent of his punishment.

    However, on midfielder Curtis Jones, who was shown a second yellow card along with Abdoulaye Doucoure for their altercation at the final whistle, he said: "There are other ways to do that for the team and fans, so I will talk with him about that."

    The Reds boss always manages to get the balance right, though, and made the point that the same applies to him, adding: "It is an emotional sport. Individuals make wrong decisions out of emotion and that is what I did."

    Liverpool have won 15 of their past 16 Premier League meetings with Wolves, with the exception being a 3-0 loss at Molineux in February 2023.

    Wolves have lost all seven of their Premier League away games against sides starting the day top of the table. Only Sheffield Wednesday (9), Bournemouth (8) and Watford (8) have visited the league leaders more times in the competition without managing to avoid defeat.

    Cody Gakpo has scored in each of his past six Premier League starts at Anfield, scoring seven goals. Only three different Liverpool players have scored in seven or more successive home starts in the competition: Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez (both eight) and Mohamed Salah twice (seven and eight).
