    Everton manager Marco Silva: "This will be our first game at home to the top six. It will be a good opportunity for us to show our quality.

    "We know their quality but we have all the confidence to play our game and do everything to win the match and show we are able to beat them."

    A Spurs win today and we could have a three-team title race on our hands in the second half of the season.

    An Everton win today and a fight for a top-four finish looks like being on their hands.

    Realistically, whatever happens today will have little effect either way...

    What should Everton fans be hoping for this season?

    Last year under Big Sam they finished eighth, in a fractured league table.

    Top six?

    It looks like one of Chelsea, Arsenal or Tottenham will have to settle for the Europa League next season. Who?

    Most post-match interviews with players are a bit dull, if we're being totally honest.

    Not this one...

    There were so many impressive performances from Crystal Palace. They were absolutely magnificent. That goal from Andros Townsend – wow. The technique is incredible. You might as well stop Goal of the Season now because nothing is beating that.

    Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s performance was his best in a Crystal Palace shirt. He was magnificent.

    Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend has now scored 17 Premier League goals - with 10 of those coming from outside the box.

    Was his latest the best goal of 2018?

    I'm happy to hear your suggestions, as well as a detailed description please, via the usual channels...

  11. Crazy week for United...published at 14:07 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    Cardiff 1-5 Man Utd

    Ashley Young hailed the impact of interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a "crazy week" at Manchester United ended in a five-star show against Cardiff.

    The post-Jose Mourinho era started in style as United scored five goals in a Premier League match for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson's last game in May 2013.

    "I don't think he (Solskjaer) has stopped smiling," United captain Young said after the 5-1 win in the Welsh capital.

    "He was like that as a player. He always has a smile on his face and I think that can reflect down on to the team, which is a good thing.

    "Ole has come in and we were preparing in the right way for a game, even though it's been a crazy week.

    "There was only a couple of days from when he came in, but as professional players you go out to train and want to turn the loss against Liverpool into a win.

    "After a performance like that I am sure he will be delighted."

  12. What a weekend it waspublished at 14:03 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2018

    So far the festive season has treated us all well. From an entertainment/excitement point of view anyway.

    What's happened so far?

    Liverpool goals were perfect football - Klopp

    Liverpool won at Wolves on Friday night to go four points clear at the top of the table.

    Andros Townsend then scored a ridiculously good goal as Crystal Palace shocked Manchester City and ensured that four-point gap remains.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now manager of Manchester United - good luck to anyone who predicted that would be the case a few days ago - and he started with a thumping 5-1 win.

    And at the bottom it was another bad day for Huddersfield. At least they scored this time, I suppose.

    But it was another defeat...
