Back onto the subject of the state of football pitches and coaching standard and news the FA will invest a record £260m into grassroots over the next four years.

"Addressing the problem of poor quality facilities is one of the areas where we have earmarked significant additional investment," said FA director for participation and development Kelly Simmons.

She told BBC Radio 5 live that introducing new all-weather 3G artificial surfaces, particularly in cities, was "integral into everything we want to achieve".

Leicester City

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri managed Chelsea between 2000-2004 - and he closes with his fond memories of his former club.

"Chelsea for me means a lot. They were my first team here and for me I was very proud to be their manager," he said.

"Chelsea are Chelsea, Mourinho is Mourinho and I’m sure they will be near the top at the end of the season  

"I respect Chelsea a lot. I watched last night. They played very well and moved it quickly. They are the champions."

More from Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri, talking about Riyad Mahrez's hat-trick at the weekend.

"I’m very happy. Until now I'm always asked about Vardy, now we talk about Mahrez," he said.

"Mahrez is a good player and he’s still improving. His potential is very, very high.

"It’s not important who scores, it’s important that the team scores and that the team plays well."

Everton

And with that Roberto was whisked away. Back to the training pitch?

Leicester City

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is talking to the media - and he is loving life at the top of the Premier League.

"Everybody knows us a little more. It’s good for the Club, the city and the fans," he said."

Everton

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is also asked about the sacking of Garry Monk at Swansea.

Martinez played for the Swans of course, and managed them between 2007 and 2009.

"What he has achieved there is nothing short of remarkable," Martinez says.

"What he achieved last season will be in history for a long time. I am sure he is going to have a refreshing break period and will be ready to come back.

"Ideally you want to see long-term projects and managers being able to put things into place but it's not a subject of debate. It's what happens now in the game and you have to accept it.

"He was my captain at Swansea. We have a really good professional relationship and I respect him a lot. He should feel very proud of what he has achieved."

And the aim for Everton more generally? "To be as good as we can be. I feel this team is ready to reach real strong heights," Martinez says. 

"We've had two defeats in 16, and only one in 11 away from home. But the only focus we have until the end of the season is to get better as a group."

"This season was always about having a group that know each other really well. We want to carry on with that."

A word from Roberto Martinez onRomelu Lukaku. 

"He is as good as it gets in the league. Only Sergio Aguero has had a similar impact in the last three years. 

"It has been great to see that consistency - 27 goals in a calendar year is impressive, but we want him to carry on wanting more. At 22, that should be the drive and focus."

Everton manager Roberto Martinez is here! And first he gives a bit of an injury update. 

He says midfielder James McCarthy is a slight doubt for Saturday's game with Norwich - he will have a fitness test.

There's also news on Leighton Baines - who Martinez says is getting closer to lasting 90 minutes. "We must be measured in our approach," he adds. Quite sensible.

It's an early start for Everton this Saturday - a 12:45 GMT kick-off away to Norwich City. 

What kind of a mood will manager Roberto Martinez be in today? We will be finding out very soon...

Kevin Banting: Have coached a group of lads from U7 to U18 and the biggest barrier to development is the state of pitches.

Is your home pitch a nightmare of divots and dips? Or are the pre-conceptions outdated and you play on a turfy green dream?
