Dynamic Toffees duo will give Silva selection headache

Everton secured a third consecutive Premier League win on Sunday at Goodison Park, with late goals from substitutes Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Cenk Tosun seeing off Crystal Palace. The visitors were left to bemoan their lack of clinical edge in front of goal once again, as they spurned several great chances, including a penalty kick taken by Luka Milivojevic, which was saved by Jordan Pickford.

Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku might not last much longer at Old Trafford if his current form continues, but who could succeed him? The Red Devils are 10th in the Premier League after nine matches of the new season and are struggling to string a sequence of wins together, largely due to the fact that they are severely lacking a spark in the final third of the pitch.

Will enigmatic Liverpool striker finally be frozen out for good this season?

The Red's signed Sturridge back in 2013 from Chelsea, where he had spent 4 years of his career languishing on the fringes of the first team as well as playing for Bolton Wanderers on loan. At Stamford Bridge, the promise of his potential one day being fulfilled was not enough for the club to remain patient, amid inconsistent performances and an egotistical approach to training.
