Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours

It is not often that I say thank you to Liverpool.... in fact, this may be the first time, but their win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium means Everton can secure their Premier League status as early as next weekend. Here are the scenarios. [Echo]

High praise for Everton from Pep Guardiola:

“It’s tricky playing away at Everton in between Champions League games. I was particularly impressed with how they handled the game against Brighton but from the first minute, we controlled the game except in transitions.

If you let them run with Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin, it’s so difficult and (from) every corner and free-kick, they are the best team in the Premier League since Sean Dyche’s appointment. There’s always the chance of a goal and you can suffer, like when Arsenal lost here from one corner.” [Echo]

On this day......

Michael Ball on the City game:

“I’m sure Dyche will be aware of it, but at the moment I feel like we’re letting teams off the hook a little bit at the moment. That’s where we could definitely improve between now and the end of the season. Moments like that, for me, are what we need to improve on.”

Alex Iwobi says he and his Everton teammates won’t let Sunday’s defeat derail the positivity around the Club following strong recent performances – and has called on everyone to be ready to go again at Wolves. [EFC]
