Defenders Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are out until January with hamstring injuries for Everton. Midfielder Idrissa Gueye and playmaker Iliman Ndiaye will be at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal until at least early January. Jack Grealish had been a doubt after suffering an issue against Chelsea, but Moyes said the winger will be fit, while on-loan Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl could return from a hernia injury.

Mikel Arteta will celebrate six years as Arsenal's manager when the Premier League leaders visit Everton this Saturday, and he is hoping to mark the occasion with a win. Arteta replaced Unai Emery in 2019 and has gone on to lift an FA Cup and two Community Shields, while also coming close to ending the Gunners' wait for the top-flight title. The Spaniard has overseen 226 Premier League matches in that time, winning 134 of those games (D44 L48), averaging a win percentage of 59.3%.

He left in the summer of 2021 for a second spell in charge at Real Madrid but says he still has fond memories of being Everton manager. Speaking to TNT Sports, Ancelotti said: "I loved the period at Everton. "It was a difficult period because it was COVID there but I have a good memory of the environment there and I'm looking always to the result of Everton."

Everton are interested in signing the Brazilian striker Yuri Alberto from Corinthians. The 24-year-old is in impressive form right now, and he has 18 goals to his name this season. He was likely to cost around 40 million. According to TEAMtalk, Everton are leading the race to secure his signature, and they have already made enquiries for the player. West Ham United are interested in the striker as well.

Leeds United and Everton are looking to improve their defensive unit during the January transfer window, and they are keen on Natan. The Real Betis defender has done quite well in La Liga, and he has attracted the attention of the Premier League club. According to a report from Fichajes, he will cost around 40 million. It will be interesting to see which of the two English clubs decides to follow up on their interest with an official proposal at the end of the season.

Liverpool's rivalry with Everton is as fierce and deep-seated as they come in English football. The two clubs, who until this year were separated by the short distance across Stanley Park, are two of the Premier League's best-supported teams. Neither has been relegated from English football's top flight since the Premier League's 1992 inauguration while more recently both clubs have undergone stadium moves or redevelopment.

David Wycherley, from Everton Fans' Forum, said "his story teaches us a lesson that we can't ignore". "Hopefully [the bench] will remind people to slow down, to check in with each other and to talk and just ask that extra question about how people are getting on in life. "But also to listen as well. Sometimes it's just as important to be that listening ear for the people around you."

Malick Thiaw scored the quickest goal of the Premier League season so far just hours after Phil Foden had set the record. The Newcastle defender headed home after just 55 seconds at Hill Dickinson Stadium to give the Magpies an early lead in their clash with Everton. The goal came following Foden's opening goal for Manchester City against Leeds United at the Etihad earlier in the day that clocked in at 59 seconds.

Tensions often boil over on a football pitch, but it's generally seen as the done thing for players to train their sights on the opposition. That's why you had to pinch yourself when Everton team-mates Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane squared up to each other in the 13th minute of their side's 1-0 win at Manchester United on Monday night.

We don't see it very often. If nothing had happened afterwards, I don't think anybody in the stadium would've been surprised,

The pair squared up after Gueye's poor pass inside the box gifted a chance to United skipper Bruno Fernandes, who fired narrowly wide. Gueye was irate and raised his left hand to slap Keane, with referee Tony Harrington immediately producing a red card, which was confirmed by VAR Paul Howard. The Premier League Match Centre said: "The referee's call of red card to Gueye for violent conduct was checked and confirmed by VAR - with the action deemed to be a clear strike to the face of Keane."
