Marco Asensio has previously been a transfer target for Tottenham and Real Madrid appear to be willing to let him leave the Bernabeu during the summer.

Philippe Coutinho’s creative ability has never been properly replaced at Liverpool and a return would be popular with the fans.

Theo Walcott did not impress the Everton fans with his performance in last night’s 2-0 home defence against Manchester City.

Last night’s match against Manchester City was always going to be a tricky evening’s work for Everton but the supporters were impressed with the efforts of local boy Tom Davies.

Isaiah Brown appears to be back to full fitness for Leeds and they need a stroke of inspiration to help freshen up their side after a recent run of poor results.

Aston Villa’s defensive record is not good enough to sustain a promotion push and that is a major headache for Dean Smith.

If Winston Reid misses the entire season for West Ham, during a time when they have progressed under Manuel Pellegrini, it is easy to see him becoming surplus to requirements.

Gaetano Berardi has shown his commitment to the Leeds cause by putting off season-ending surgery in order to remain available in the promotion race.

Injuries have held Niall Ennis back from realising his potential so far but there should be ample opportunity for him to do that after his debut against Shrewsbury.

Wayne Rooney has declared he feels he can still do a job in the Premier League, but his performances last season for Everton suggest otherwise.

Tottenham are well-stocked for right-backs, but none of them have been particularly impressive this season, which goes a fair way to explaining their interest in Norwich’s Max Aarons.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been added to Liverpool’s Champions League squad for the knockout rounds but it should be regarded as a bonus if he is ready for action before the start of next season.

Most clubs would see a home victory over Manchester City as a potential turning point for the season but Everton’s rivalry with title-chasers Liverpool muddies the waters for Marco Silva tonight.

Tottenham appear to have been handed a double boost to their hopes if keeping playmaker Christian Eriksen at the club.

Unai Emery will not be given access to a huge summer war chest to overhaul his Arsenal side so the signing of Denis Suarez may not be the wisest course of action.
