• At any club Graham would be touted as the next big thing, but here we destroy youth. Watch him go elsewhere and be a revelation at some future point. ...
  Andrew McLawrence in Everton U21s take on Manchester City this afternoon
• If TFG are content with mid-table they are at odds with Moyes’s stated ambitions. He’s talked about Everton qualifying for Europe at every press conference I’ve watched this season. European qualification brings in extra revenue for the ownership, as does a higher finish up the table, and makes us a better prospect for potential recruits. TFG would be a very rare breed of owners if they didn’t want European games next season as they’d be turning down revenue. Based on these facts I expect both Moyes and TFG would welcome European football next season. ...
  Jimmy Carr in Everton vs Leeds United: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• Eric &56, agree with your points entirely, and that was my sentiment really, I think our level of ambition this season is consolidation and mid table security. For many that’s fine. Fair enough. We’d spend now I think if we wanted to push hard for Europe ( and what an opportunity given the tightness of the league this year), knowing we’d have to spend again in Summer to add depth to the squad. I don’t think that’s the TFG plan, Kinnear confirmed as much. Well carry on as we are, with some players coming back, win some lose some, probably send Armstrong back to Preston, as Moyes seems desperate to do, finish mid table. ...
  Ian Wilkins in Everton vs Leeds United: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• Mike Hayes, given that Keane is still suspended who plays right back if Patterson isn't selected? I'm hoping your wrong and the only change from the Villa game is Ndiaye straight in for Grealish. Maybe Gana in for Rohl but I hope not, personally. Moyes has confirmed Armstrong goes back to PNE but I hope he gives him another start tonight....

The match, which will kick off at 19:30 BST, will take place three days after the Scots host Japan at Hampden.

Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finalists the Ivory Coast are also taking part in this year's World Cup. Emerse Fae's team will play Ecuador, Germany and Curacao at the finals. "We wanted to face African opposition before we play Morocco in the summer, and I'm sure Cote d'Ivoire will give us a real stern test," said Clarke. "It will also be good to play at the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. The support...
  Paul Kossoff in Everton vs Leeds United: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch
• I think we will have a little too much for Leeds tonight, also its been a while since we put in a really good and convincing performance at home. Also I hope the crowd treat DCL with respect whether he scores against us or not. Lets prove we are not like the Trent haters who were once on the other side of the park to us. Yes he obviously was not happy with what contract we offered but don't forget the goal against Palace that kept us up and his joy in the crowd after. Lets show some class, plus a good win of course. ...
