  1. 'Players want to play for Klopp'

    Mark Lawrenson
    Former Liverpool defender on MOTD2 Extra

    They have really taken to Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool. He gets the club and the history. It is about the progression of the side. They are pressing the opposition. They kept the ball well but didn't do too much with it for 40 minutes. The key to the game was the goal just before half-time, which shellshocked Chelsea. If he was your manager you would want to play for him.

  2. Never mind Jose... what about Jurgen?

    Klopp's Liverpool team have lift-off following that victory at Stamford Bridge.

    Although the German did laugh when somebody asked if the Reds can now be considered title contenders.

  3. Poor Jose!

    There's plenty of people reveling in the troubles of Jose Mourinho, particularly on social media. BBC Sport's Luke Reddy collated the best of the 'bantz' yesterday. You can find it all here. My personal favourite is this effort from the Bleacher Report...

    I think Chelsea will stick with Jose Mourinho even if the poor run remains. Who do you replace him with?

    It is time Roman Abramovich stuck with a manager long term. But is Jose Mourinho a manager for a long-term job? Players who have run through brick walls for him in the past have stopped doing that.

  7. The Stadium of Fright

    Everton v Sunderland (13:30 GMT)

    It's that time of year when a host of Premier League clubs release Halloween videos of one player scaring another player.

    Sunderland did just that this week and, to be fair, it's pretty good. Let's just say there's a few players up at the Stadium of Light who are wary of things that go bump in the night.

    Watch the video here.

  8. Can Everton break Black Cats down?

    I think it will be difficult for Everton. I was at the Wear-Tyne derby and although the penalty changed the course of the game, Sunderland hardly budged, really. If the full-backs got forward, they would have cover from midfield, so this week the onus will be on Everton. They will have 70% possession but the question comes if Sunderland then get themselves in front. Can Everton break them down?

  9. Thanks Dawksey...

    How is everyone? Pumped for some Sunday football? Of course you are.

    Let's crack on.

  10. SUBSTITUTION

    Right, that's me done. I now hand you over to Mr Marc Higginson. All yours Higgy...

  11. What's my name?

    Everton v Sunderland (13:30 GMT)

    “I have asked my team-mates to call me Funes. Though in the media I like to be Funes Mori, and that’s what it says on my shirt. Jose is really my first name, but my mum and dad call me Ramiro. Actually, I think I have too many names.”

    Do you think Everton's Ramiro Funes Mori... sorry, Jose... sorry, Funes... oh, forget it... has an identity crisis?

    Well, the Everton fans are going to be finding out a lot more about him in the next few weeks as he fills in for Phil Jagielka in the heart of the Toffees defence.

    One thing is for sure, the 24-year-old, who joined Everton for £9.5m in September, won't be fazed by playing in the Premier League. If you can handle River Plate v Boca, at home to Sunderland should be a breeze.

  13. History repeating?

    Everton v Sunderland (13:30 GMT)

    Sunderland have happy memories of playing at Goodison Park. Their only Premier League away win in the last 16 attempts came at Everton in May. The 2-0 win also ended Everton's unbeaten home record in 2015 with their victory in May. Even Danny Graham scored.

  14. Today's action

    Everton v Sunderland (13:30 GMT)

    Right then, today's games. Everton v Sunderland is first up at 13:30 GMT, meaning we'll have some team news for you in about 30 minutes time. 

    As a little heads up, I can tell you that Seamus Coleman is a major doubt with the stomach bug, adding to Everton's defensive problems. They will definitely be without Phil Jagielka (knee). However, Leighton Baines is back in training after a lengthy absence.

    Sunderland will make late decisions on John O'Shea, Younes Kaboul and Ola Toivonen, who all suffered injuries in the win over Newcastle last weekend.

    Oh, Baxter, you are my little gentleman. I'll take you to foggy Liverpool town 'cause you are my little gentleman...  

  16. 'I can't see them replacing Jose'

    Former Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins has been on BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek programme this morning, discussing the problems at Chelsea and Jose Mourinho's future.

    "The manager has his job and he will pick a side he feels can win, then It’s up to players on the pitch," he said. "Their lethargy without the ball is apparent - they don't have the same determination they had last season and the desire to win the ball back isn't there. 

    "In any dressing room, if a player isn’t selected, he isn't happy. You keep 11 people happy, the rest are disgruntled. 

    "I think Jose will stay in the job. Look at who can take over. Only Carlo Ancelotti is out there who could come in but I can't see them replacing Jose."

  19. Saving the day

  20. Clean sheets and clangers

    It was also a contrasting day for keepers on Saturday. Jack Butland and Petr Cech had stormers for Stoke and Arsenal respectively, but England and Manchester City keeper Joe Hart had an afternoon to forget as his clanger almost gifted Norwich a draw at the Etihad.

    Hart dropped the ball right at the feet of Cameron Jerome giving him the easiest finish of his life. BBC radio 5 live presenter Danny Baker summed the moment up pretty well on Twitter...
