MARTIN KEOWN: Football is never far away from any conversation in the city and this clash is more poignant than most in the fixture's history, as it will mark the beginning of the end of Goodison Park.
MARTIN KEOWN: Manchester City will know from their analysis that they cannot allow Virgil van Dijk any time on the ball when the clubs meet in tomorrow's blockbuster.

MARTIN KEOWN: It's certainly been a productive window. I like Niclas Fullkrug (left) a lot. The centre forward has Bundesliga and international pedigree with Germany.
