    Lukaku Must Assess Chelsea Future - What Drogba's Return Could Mean For The Young Forward

    As Didier Drogba got a hero’s welcome on his return to Stamford Bridge, one must wonder where that leaves Romelu Lukaku.  The 21-year-old has been at Chelsea since 2011, spending most of his first season in England with the London club’s reserves and the next two out on loan, at West Brom and Everton respectively.

    Forget Costa: Why Chelsea MUST Build Attack Around Lukaku Next Season

    According to Sky Sports, Toffees boss Roberto Martinez has stated it would be great if Everton could keep hold of their on-loan players, but in my view Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho must ensure that Romelu Lukaku is playing in the blue of Chelsea next season.

    Should Everton Turn Their Attention To Brazilian Forward With 9 Goals This Season?

    Since Martinez took over from Moyes in the summer, Everton have gone from strength to strength and see themselves sitting in 5th place, 7 points off the leaders Arsenal. 

    I believe Everton have everything in place to finish in a top four position this season but when you look at the four teams above them: Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal, its hard to see the current top four dropping many points this season.

    Liverpool Enjoy Dream Start To New Campaign

    Just what every Premier League team wanted – three wins out of three and yet to concede a goal. Brendan Rodgers’ men are top of the league, surely not for long, but still... a fairly unexpected hat-trick of goals for Daniel Sturridge against Stoke, Aston Villa and yesterday against Manchester United is sure to have proved his doubters that he’s the real deal. And all this without Luis Suarez, who is still serving his suspension for chomping at Branislav Ivanovic in April. Could Liverpool stake a claim for a top four spot this season? Certainly food for thought the red half of Merseyside!

    Premier League Managers To Watch In 2013/2014

    As 4 of last season’s top 6 start with a new boss this season, we’re in for another campaign that nobody can predict. Those clubs who narrowly avoided relegation last term have strengthened and also stuck with the same manager. Each of the 17 remaining from 2012/2013 do not treat survival as success and with that in mind we could be looking at a managerial merry-go-round! Here are 5 managers that face plenty of pressure season...

    Wigan Athletic Dump The Silky Football And Go Direct

    The Community Shield match between Manchester United and Wigan saw two managers taking their first steps in charge of their new clubs. David Moyes will have been fairly pleased about the way that his team controlled large passages of the game, whilst Owen Coyle appears to have already altered the mentality of what was, under Roberto Martinez, a possession focused, passing team.

    Is Martinez's Wigan raid going to work?

    Whilst he might not be placing all his eggs in one basket, new Everton boss Roberto Martinez is certainly placing a large proportion of them in the same box – given that of his four signings to date three were playing for him at Wigan last term.

    Three reasons why Arouna Kone would be a good signing for Everton 

    As it looks more and more likely that Ivorian striker Arouna Kone is going to rejoin former Wigan coach Roberto Martinez at Everton many people have questioned whether signing him for £5 million would be a good deal for ‘The Toffees’.

    Kone the first to look for the exit door

    Relegated squads can often symbolise the Mary Celeste by the time the transfer window has shut - given the now inevitable mass exoduses that can occur. For Wigan they have done fairly well up to now in this respect, with rumours regarding the any potential exits from their talented squad fairly minimal.
