  1. Lawro's predictionpublished at 14:36 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Crystal Palace v Fulham (15:00 GMT)

    Palace's recent performances have been decent and I would expect another positive display from them here, even without the suspended Wilfried Zaha.

    I don't think anyone saw Fulham's comeback against Brighton coming - they have been struggling for goals all season so for them to score four in the second half was just ridiculous.

    That result will have given them lots of confidence but, if they are going to push on and save themselves, they really need some more of their players to chip in with some goals.

    Aleksandar Mitrovic's two goals against Brighton mean he is into double figures in the league this season which is a very good return, but Andre Schurrle, with six, is their only other player who seems to pose a threat.

    Lawro's prediction:1-1

  2. Batshuayi loan deal a 'pleasant surprise' for Hodgsonpublished at 14:35 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson did not know his club had signed striker Michy Batshuayi until the morning after the transfer window closed.

    The Eagles signed the 25-year-old Chelsea striker on loan until the end of the season, with the deal being announced at 00:15 on Friday.

    "I went to bed not knowing," said 71-year-old Hodgson.

    "But it was a pleasant surprise to wake up to (sporting director) Doug Freedman's text that it had been done."

    Everton manager Marco Silva on Idrissa Gueye's reaction to PSG's failed bids: "He is a good professional and a fantastic boy. He really likes our club, he is enjoying playing in our club.

    "When a club like PSG comes in it is normal he starts to think about his future but now he has stopped, the market is closed and I don't have doubts we will see the best Idrissa Gana again.

    "You can use the word disappointed, and of course it was a good opportunity for him, but it is a fantastic opportunity for him to stay with us also."

  5. Everton's 'season over'?published at 14:26 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Everton v Wolves

    Wolves will be confident of further dampening the mood around Goodison Park as they head to Merseyside on the back of six wins in the last 10 games, and two points ahead of their opponents.

    Minutes after the FA Cup exit at Millwall, one of my Evertonian friends sent me a message: 'That's our season over in January'. Marco Silva has to try and rid that feeling around the club. Although they didn't play well in midweek, the win and clean sheet at Huddersfield was a start.

    This match will be a different test though. They will be more than aware of how Wolves have ruffled the feathers of bigger names than Everton already this season. The Black Country side are on course for the highest-placed finish by a newly promoted team for 18 years.

    Theo Walcott returns to Everton's starting line-up for the first time since 1 January - with Bernard making way.

    Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Zouma, Keane, Baines, Davies, Andre Gomes, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Tosun.

    Substitutes: McCarthy, Schneiderlin, Bernard, Stekelenburg, Calvert-Lewin, Lookman, Kenny.

  8. 'Fulham have made things interesting'published at 14:20 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Match of the Day commentator

    Fulham's comeback win against Brighton has made this all the more interesting, as has the late transfer business completed by both clubs on Thursday night.

    The arrival of Michy Batshuayi at Palace has generated a degree of excitement. The signings of Havard Nordtveit and Lazar Markovic for Fulham perhaps less so. I hope they prove me wrong.

    Palace have found scoring at home a big problem. Even without Wilf Zaha, this is a chance to sort that out against the Premier League's leakiest defence.

    Fulham haven't won away or two league games in a row all season. Sort THAT out and their season starts anew, with safety back in sight.

  17. 'Fans split on Silva'published at 14:04 Greenwich Mean Time 2 February 2019

    Final Score reporter at Goodison Park

    It's a chilly day on Merseyside. The fans are well wrapped up and there were certainty more smiling Wolves fans on the way in.

    It's a big afternoon for Marco Silva. Fans I spoke to outside were divided on him - some of them are still angry about the FA Cup defeat at Millwall.

    I think they'll be on his back today if Wolves continue their fine form.
