    "I don't necessarily think it is a case of Everton needing new personnel - it's just the way they play. 

    "They are expansive, bomb the full-backs forward, it leaves holes at the back and they are caught out because of their style of play. 

    "Phil Jagielka is coming back from injury - but it would be the same with him playing."

    Can 2016 go any better?

    "The loan system has worked so well for Spurs. They have had lots of players out on loan, and that has enabled them to develop and get 50 or 100 games under their belts before they played for Tottenham's first team.

    "Mauricio Pochettino says to not expect too much from his players, but you look at the way they are playing and they are serious contenders for the Premier League title."

    So why can't Tottenham win the league?

    -  They have won their last three Premier League games, and are aiming to win four in a row in the league for the first time since January 2014.

    - They have lost just one of their last 18 Premier League matches (W9, D8).

    - They are unbeaten away from home in the league since the opening day of the season (W4, D4). They've scored in every league away game since then.

    - They have the meanest defence in the Premier League, having conceded 15 goals so far this season.

    No reason then?

  10. All you need is goals...published at 15:39

    Everton v Tottenham (16:00 GMT)

    This could be billed as a battle of the sharpshooters and you can see why.

    Romelu Lukaku has scored eight goals in his last seven Premier League appearances at Goodison Park, and 11 goals in his last 10 games in all competitions.

    Harry Kane was the Premier League top scorer for 2015.

    How key will they be?

    "There are a few rumblings of discontent at Goodison. The sort that come with having won just one of the last six league games.

    "It's not just the lack of wins troubling Toffees though, it's been the manner of the last two defeats - both at home.

    "First 3-2 versus Leicester, then 4-3 against Stoke. Great entertainment 'for neutrals' but no points - and who cares about 'neutrals' anyway?

    "How they must envy the consistency of Spurs. Consistency, the best defence in the Premier League, and a ruthless streak that's swept them into the top four and even spawned title talk.

    "They could you know. They really could."

  14. Goals galorepublished at 15:32

    Everton v Tottenham (16:00 GMT)

    Everton are having a mixed season so far.

    Despite some impressive football played, they have won just one of their last six league games, and lost two of the last three.

    You are pretty much guaranteed entertainment though... games involving Roberto Martinez' side have produced 63 goals this season, the highest total in the top flight.

    That'll be a 0-0 draw then.

  19. Martinez not to be moved on Howardpublished at 15:20

    BBC Sport chief football writer at Goodison Park

    Everton manager Roberto Martinez keeps faith with goalkeeper Tim Howard, despite his poor form this season and mounting criticism from the club's fanbase.

    Martinez has maintained that the American is his number one despite increased scrutiny and the improvement in his deputy Joel Robles.

    Another eye-catching selection is Martinez's preference for Arouna Kone, who has looked tired recently, ahead of Gerard Deulofeu and Kevin Mirallas.
