"Exactly a year ago Leicester were still bottom. But their 4-3 defeat at Spurs sparked the miracle. They won seven of nine games to stay up.

"Now, in one of the greatest football stories ever told, they can see the silverware shimmering. But they have to remain steadfast. If a remarkable year is bracketed with defeat, the wolves will be at the Foxes' door.

"Palace shouldn't beat them. They're the only side in the country without a 2016 league win. Their home form is shocking.

"But they know that they could be in a real relegation fight by the time their FA Cup semi-final comes around. They need a win. I've a sneaky feeling they'll get it."

Spare a thought for former Bolton and Bradford manager Colin Todd, now in charge at Danish side Randers.

As if he didn't have enough in his in-tray with transfers, formations and injuries, he's now got a soap-opera-style love-triangle to deal with, after it transpired that midfielder Christian Keller has been seeing the wife of team-mate Jonas Borring, the Guardian reports., external

"I followed my heart," Keller said. "He has broken rule No1 in the dressing room. He has completely knifed me in the back," said Borring.

Caught in the middle of it all is poor old Toddy, who has dropped Keller, saying: "It’s been a very difficult week." You never got this sort of nonsense at Bolton...

Chelsea will be without their pantomime villain (and star striker) today, with Diego Costa banned and also injured. Double whammy.

All in all it has not been a great week for the 27-year-old. He has also been left out of Spain's squad for friendlies against Italy and Romania.

Spain boss Vicente Del Bosque has instead called up 35-year-old Aritz Aduriz. The Athletic Bilbao forward has bagged 31 goals this season, however. He's hardly Rickie Lambert.

Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink said later on Friday that Costa has a problem with a tendon in a hip muscle.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic: "Chelsea are thinking there's nine games to go and if they click they can finish very, very high also.

"In that sense it's not a great time [to play them] because now they have only Premier League. Make no mistake - I'm expecting them to be really hungry and totally focused on the Premier League."

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink: "I expect a tough match because they are doing very well at home and away.

"They are a courageous team who are fast on the counter attack. They have skilful players, they are a nice team to watch.

"They are in the mood in fifth position, not just dreaming but maybe making fourth place come true. They've shown they can play and they have players who can be decisive at any minute."

Simon Brotherton
Match of the Day commentator at Stamford Bridge

"Claudio Ranieri is a shoo-in for manager of the year, but Slaven Bilic should be on the podium too, with West Ham now genuine contenders for Champions League football.

"They're only a couple of points behind Manchester City and have only lost two of the last 16 league games.

"This looks a good time for the Hammers to go to Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea hardly on the crest of a wave after being knocked out of both the Champions League and FA Cup in their last two matches.

"Guus Hiddink has steadied the ship well, and they remain undefeated in the Premier League since his return, but too many draws have limited their progress up the table."

Is Zlatan Ibrahimovic buying a one-way Eurostar ticket to London this summer? If he is then he won't be looking at luxury flats close to the Emirates (or so Arsene Wenger claims, sort of).

The Arsenal boss reckons he is "surprised" the club has been linked with a summer move to sign, external the iconic Sweden striker.

Ibrahimovic, 34, is a free agent at the end of the season and has announced he is likely to leave Paris St-Germain.

"Look, at the moment, no," Wenger said when asked if he was interested in a deal for Ibrahimovic.

Ouch...

Your spots of terrific sporting graffiti. The more the merrier.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "Arsenal, with the experience that they have, the know-how, the clarity and the way they play football - it doesn't matter what pressure is on them they will always play with a certain style and be very, very good in that style.

"I just feel Arsenal are still strong title contenders and that's what we're going to be facing at Goodison."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "At the moment, the only way to achieve something special is first to be realistic and humble enough to deal first with Everton...

"It's very tight, but I believe the Premier League is far from over. We are in a position where we hope for the best.

"I agree that a negative result would be very bad for us, but we focus on a positive result. We know now is the time for us to produce the result we want."

Steve Bower
Match of the Day commentator at Goodison Park

"Having gone out of two competitions in five days, there isn't time for Arsenal to feel sorry for themselves.

"While they surely know the gap to Leicester above them is too big, they won't want to be looking over their shoulders and facing any prospect of missing out on a top-four finish, something that has never happened to Arsene Wenger.

"The Gunners, though, have only taken 10 points from the last 27 - a similar return from their final nine games would certainly create anxiety.

"Everton's inconsistency, especially at home, has prevented a top-four challenge of their own in this campaign but, as Arsenal will be aware, they are capable of beating anyone on their day."

The teamsheets will be handed in to the referee's changing room at Goodison Park around 11:45 GMT, but here are a few early clues about which names may be scrawled on them...

Bryan Oviedo could miss out again for Everton, although he has returned to training following a chest infection. 

Kevin Mirallas and Gareth Barry are both suspended but Muhamed Besic could make his first start since January after returning from injury.

Arsenal will be without midfielder Mathieu Flamini, who suffered a hamstring injury against Barcelona.

The Gunners are still missing Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Petr Cech, Santi Cazorla and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Right, time for us to start turning our attention to today's matches, beginning with the early kick-off between Everton and Arsenal...
