25. 'If it were Moyes maybe I'd listen' - Silva hits back at Allardyce over 'attractive football' jibe

Marco Silva has preached the importance of stability for Everton in their quest to settle after a succession of quick-fire managerial changes in recent seasons, and hit back at Sam Allardyce's criticisms by referencing successful Toffees boss David Moyes. The Portuguese was responding to comments made by former boss Allardyce, who claimed that the team's more adventurous playing style this season will, ultimately, not prolong the current manager's tenure. Silva is the Toffees' fourth boss since the 11-year reign of David Moyes came to an end in 2013, and has received plaudits for radically altering the team's attacking play since replacing Allardyce in the summer.

28. Klopp: Confidence concerns keeping Keita out of team (for now)

Not every player can join one of the world's biggest club's and tear up everything in sight from day one like, say, Mohamed Salah or Gabriel Jesus. Take, for example, Naby Keita, who last season was widely regarded — by opinions and numbers — as one of the very best midfield performers in all of Europe. Keita, who just turned 23, made his long awaited move to Liverpool over the summer and has struggled to claim a regular place in the team.

29. Tottenham must 'operate differently' in transfer market to win major silverware, says Mauricio Pochettino

30. Chelsea boss Sarri warns Hudson-Odoi against Bayern Munich move

Chelsea boss Sarri is adamant staying put is a better option for Hudson-Odoi, however, predicting a bright future for him at Stamford Bridge if he stays.

31. 'I want to stay' - Cech relaxed as Arsenal future remains unclear

Petr Cech wants to stay at Arsenal and insists he is not 'stressed' about not receiving a new contract offer. Cech joined Arsenal from their Stamford Bridge neighbours in 2015 for £10 million, but Emery last week admitted he was unsure whether the veteran keeper had a future with the club.

32. Atsu's 'amateurish' finishing slammed by former Newcastle forward

Christian Atsu's wastefulness in last week's Premier League fixture against Manchester United has incurred the wrath of former Newcastle United star Malcolm Macdonald, who described the Ghanaian's efforts on the day as "amateurish".

While some commended his industry, others, including Macdonald, lamented his profligacy.

33. Guardiola looks to De Bruyne for title boost

Pep Guardiola has backed a fit-again Kevin De Bruyne to give Manchester City an extra edge as they look to defend their Premier League title from an assault from leaders Liverpool. The Belgium playmaker marked his latest return from injury with a commanding display as City hammered second-tier Rotherham 7-0 in the third round of the FA Cup at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. De Bruyne, 27, was key as City hit 100 points last season but has twice been sidelined with knee problems so far this season as Liverpool have stolen ahead of Guardiola's side in the title race.

34. Manufacturing magic: What exactly is it we want from the FA Cup?

You're already sick to death of this subject, but - somehow - we manage to make it circle round again each January: awkward kick-off times and arduous train journeys; weakened teams; Manchester United's tie being televised yet again; the tin-foil industry's exploitation of the FA Cup enthusiasm of nine-year-old fans from League Two. Unfortunately, the real problem with the FA Cup is that people won't stop talking about the FA Cup. More to the point, the language of the FA Cup simply refuses to evolve.

35. Barcelona increases lead in Spain as rivals drop points

Barcelona took another step toward successfully defending its Spanish league title after winning at one of the toughest teams to beat in the competition on Sunday, while its rivals dropped points.

36. Sky-high mascot fees prove nothing is beneath Premier League profiteers

You can keep your prawn sandwiches, your camo-wrapped Bentleys and even the in-stadium fromagerie at the new White Hart Lane. The latest symbol of wretched excess in the world of the Premier League is the £700 charged by West Ham to the parents of the children who walk out of the tunnel alongside their players before a major home match. The players get some brief contact with the real world. The discovery that some Premier League clubs sell the experience of walking on to the pitch before a big match enraged Gary Lineker, who tweeted: “This is awful – dreadful avarice”.

37. Lukaku explains how Solskjaer is getting the best out of him

Romelu Lukaku has revealed how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is getting the best out of the Belgian striker. The Manchester United man has had a difficult season and fell out of favour under Jose Mourinho, but now slowly he looks to be getting his form back under Solskjaer. Lukaku, often criticised for his lack of movement, made an instant impact off the bench to score against Newcastle and started the 2-0 FA Cup win over Reading, scoring in the process and the 25-year-old striker says former forward Solskjaer is helping him improve his game. Lukaku, who now has three goals in thee games after returning from compassionate leave, said: “He talks to me all the time – and I like that. “He plays in a way

The Cardiff boss described the deal struck between the Reds and Bournemouth as “a disgrace” after he only heard about the move via a TV report.

40. FA Cup hero Andre Green admits Portsmouth loan spell has been tough

It may not be how he planned it when he made the move but Andre Green is becoming quite the super-sub for Portsmouth. The 20-year-old was thrown on with 25 minutes to go at Carrow Road on Saturday with the task of producing the late heroics he provided to get the League One leaders past Rochdale in round two. It looked like Green's opportunity had passed him by with the game winding down for a forgettable 0-0, only for the final few seconds to give the Aston Villa striker the one chance he needed. 'I was confident coming on after scoring in previous cups and in other games this season so I knew I was going to get a chance here or there,' Green said. 'Thankfully it went in.' Norwich threw caution

41. Paul Pogba joins up with Man Utd squad in Dubai and is winning race to be fit to play Tottenham at Wembley

Paul Pogba is winning his race to be fit for Sunday's clash against Tottenham at Wembley as one of the Manchester United midfielder's brothers launched a scathing attack on former manager Jose Mourinho. Pogba joined up with United's squad for their training camp in Dubai on Monday night after initially staying behind to receive treatment on an injury caused by Jonjo Shelvey's reckless challenge during the 2-0 win over Newcastle last week. It forced Pogba to miss Saturday's FA Cup victory over Reading but the Frenchman trained in Dubai on Tuesday and will be closely assessed over the coming days ahead of Spurs, the biggest test yet for interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after a run of five successive wins following Mourinho's sacking.

43. Fabregas bids farewell to team-mates with dressing room speech

The 31-year-old's contract expires this summer and he has been linked with a January move to Monaco and a reunion with former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry. David Luiz revealed Fabregas addressed the dressing room afterwards. 'He did a speech and then after that we all said thank you for him, and hugged him,' said Luiz, who declined to reveal what Fabregas said. Any move is still to be completed,

44. Figo enjoys swim with pigs in Bahamas

Football fans familiar with La Liga in the early 2000s will understand that the mere mention of Luis Figo and pigs in the same sentence instantly conjures images of a fairly grotesque nature. Thankfully, the former Barcelona and Real Madrid star is doing his bit to redress the balance these days and make amends with the porcine community. Indeed, Figo is currently enjoying a winter holiday in the Bahamas, were he has enjoyed a swim in the ocean with a couple of local pigs, their heads still mercifully attached to their bodies! For the uninitiated, Figo was once famously pelted with a pig's head hurled from the Camp Nou terraces during a Clasico fixture in 2002, two seasons after he'd completed

46. La Liga roundup: It was a truly splendid day to be Barcelona

47. Malcom's agent brands Lazio rumors 'fake news'

Malcom has been linked with a variety of clubs in the January transfer window, with Lazio the latest name rumoured to be interested in the Brazilian. Sport reported that the Serie A side have been in touch to discuss loaning the 21-year-old in January. However, the winger's agent, Fernando Menezes Garcia, has offered his view on the speculation in a post on Instagram. It's extremely unlikely that Malcom is going anywhere in the January transfer window, but we'll probably still see some more rumors before the month is out.

48. Muller backs Bayern team-mate Ribery after social media outburst

Thomas Muller defended Franck Ribery's "emotional" nature following the Bayern Munich winger's foul-mouthed response to social media criticism. Bayern fined 35-year-old Ribery after he unleashed an expletive-laden Twitter and Instagram outburst towards "the haters" who ridiculed a video in which he posed with a gold-coated steak, reportedly worth €1,200. The former France winger was visiting celebrity chef Nusret Gokce, an internet sensation nicknamed Salt Bae, at his Dubai restaurant.

49. Liverpool consider handing FA Cup debut to 16-year-old Ki-Jana Hoever
