Former Everton midfielder Leon Osman on MOTD2 Extra: "It is going to be difficult for Everton - Man City have hit form again. Everton are on the back of a new signing in Morgan Schneiderlin and the crowd should be fantastic today.

"The manager knows Schneiderlin well and what he is capable of - what to do to get the best out of him. It should be a quick and seamless introduction."

Former Leicester and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer on Ronald Koeman's role at Everton: "It's going to take some time to change the squad. The squad isn't up to what he wants to have there. Morgan Schneiderlin is the first of potentially many signings. I think one or two more in January and then even more in the summer."

John Stones must not get carried away with the emotion of going back to his old club. He shouldn't do things he has not tried, not to do anything stupid. He is still learning from the manager. It will be a difficult game for him today.

I think the way Everton have to play today is direct. They need to try to make it an ugly game. It will be a tough afternoon for Manchester City if Everton can get the crowd behind them.

Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba isn't just thinking about getting into the top four, he believes the Red Devils can still win the title, despite being 10 points behind Chelsea.

"You have to believe," he told Football Focus. "We are not far.

"I know Chelsea are at the top but this is the Premier League, you never know what is going to happen. You have to keep fighting and believing. Inside, I feel we can still win the league."

West Ham United

Former England captain Alan Shearer on MOTD2 Extra: "If it is quite clear Dimitri Payet is refusing to play for the club, you have to get as much as you can and sell him. The dressing room is far more important.

"For manager Slaven Bilic to come out and say what he did, that was the last straw. He had nowhere else to go. When he put Payet on the bench in the FA Cup and put him on at 4-0 down, he was saying 'I am the boss, don't mess me around'.

"When the player is no longer wanted, the club tries to sell, loyalty is a two-way thing. You have to look at your options. I have not got a problem with players wanting to leave football clubs, you are allowed to do that but there is a way and means to do it. By refusing to play is not correct."

West Ham United

Former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer: "Payet is a commodity, you have to get as much money for him. The players said they had a close knit unit and they showed against Crystal Palace they are together and can win games without him. Then they can bring in players to improve the team.

"Loyalty swings both ways. Players have shown their loyalty - like John Terry at Chelsea. It is still there but few and far between.

"At 40, I had the opportunity to go to Chelsea, having been at Fulham. You cannot compare the two and Chelsea gave me the chance to play Champions League football."

New Everton signings Morgan Schneiderlin and Ademola Lookman have to make do with a place on the bench for the visit of Manchester City. Kevin Mirallas replaces Enner Valencia in the one change to the starting XI.

Ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer: "All these clubs have players in mind. I think they'll always have a plan B or plan C."

Telegraph football correspondent Jason Burt: "I'm not sure Roman Abramovich will want to be pushed around by the Chinese market. He has spent a lot of money. Sometimes an owner like this may put his foot down. He will not be pushed around. If Costa is going to go, it will be in the summer."

Chelsea will miss Diego Costa. He has scored goals, provided assists and been the best player this season. It will be a huge uphill struggle to win the league without him. 

The story will not go way though. The players have the vast majority of the power, he will leave. If the player does not want to be there, he will go. It depends how bad an apple he becomes, if it affects the dressing room, you have to get rid.

In an ideal world you get the player in at 6am and get him training with the reserves. You cannot do that because he comes into the changing room and in among the players.

Chelsea

Former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer: "Chelsea did not miss Diego Costa at all, they more than handled themselves without him. The front three of Eden Hazard, Pedro and Willian were excellent and caused Leicester all sorts of problems. The questions come when they come up against a more quality team.

"Costa has been excellent for Chelsea, the whole team did not play well last season. If he comes back into the side and scores goals, it will all be forgotten.

"He is a big character, he is always joking in training and if he throws his toys out of the pram, he will be a big disruption. Knowing what Antonio Conte wants, they will not want him around the team.

"On the pitch, he is as fighter, he wants to scrap for everything. Off the pitch, he is a real character among the players. He loves that position in the squad. Who knows? He may come back next week saying he had a back injury and it had all been blown out of proportion."

Morgan Schneiderlin has joined Everton and will wear number two on his back, despite playing in central midfield. So have you ever had to wear a crazy number on the pitch? Or which players do you recall have done? Tweet #bbcfootball.

Alan Shearer speaks about Diego Costa on MOTD2 Extra: "He will dictate the situation. The players have the vast majority of power. If the player does not want to be there, he will leave."

Will Conte want to keep him? "It depends how bad an apple he can become. If it affects the dressing room, you have to get rid."

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer: "He could potentially be a huge disruption. Conte will not want to have that type of character around the training ground if he wants to leave."

Starter? Support card? Look beyond purely rivalry issues and you'll see a contest bursting with as much interest as 'the other one' on Sunday.

After Ronald Koeman's statement of frustration following the cup exit to Leicester, Everton have made one with the signing of Morgan Schneiderlin and the promise of others to come.

Whether hope is renewed enough for Goodison to rock and roll depends on how Koeman's side starts against the team he called '"the best team I ever met' in October.

High praise for City, who were back to purring at a poor West Ham last weekend.

Another win here - and then against Tottenham next week - and we might all be cooing like Koeman about them again.

Sunderland fan Bradley Lowery, who has a rare form of cancer, will lead out Everton as their mascot this afternoon.

The five-year-old was mascot for the Black Cats against Everton back in September and news that he would be mascot at Goodison was announced on Twitter. Such a wonderful smile in the below picture and I hope he has a fantastic day.

Colm Murphy: Samuel Eto'o, legendary number 9, wore number 5 at Everton!

Leigh Kennedy: Jonathan de Guzman currently wears the #1 at chievo..

Leigh is right, the former Swansea man does wear the no.1 shirt. That's just crazy., external

Full-backs Danny Rose and Kyle Walker are just unbelievable. 

West Brom's Nacer Chadli had the thankless task of dealing with Rose, who is one of the best left-backs in Europe right now. 

When you have the insurance of midfielders Moussa Dembele and Victor Wanyama, Rose can go forward.
