Everton suffered a 3-2 defeat at Watford on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League. The loss means that the Toffees have recorded just one win in their last 11 outings in all competitions.
The 2016/17 football season has proved to be largely unpredictable so far.

It took the luck of a penalty shootout to seal PSV Eindhoven’s exit from the Champions League Round of 16 last season, after the Dutch champions impressively topped Premier League giants Manchester United to secure their place in the knockout rounds.
Dennis Bergkamp, Edgar Davids, Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Babel, Daley Blind, Nigel de Jong, Rafael van der Vaart, Thomas Vermaelen, Jan Vertonghen, Christian Eriksen, Toby Alderweireld. Ajax have produced some of the Premier League's best talent over the years.
A total of 13 new faces arrived at the Commerzbank-Arena throughout the summer, ready to begin their new lives as Eintracht Frankfurt players. The same amount of players moved on, in search of a new challenge elsewhere.
‘Tis the season to be jolly. Yet, for VfL Wolfsburg, the holiday season is proving to be just as miserable as the months that preceded it.
In truth, Manchester City should have been at least two goals to the good before Chelsea scored their first goal at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The glaring miss by Kevin de Bruyne was the pick of the chances that City somehow managed to let slip away from them and Pep Guardiola’s reaction on the touchline told you everything you needed to know.
Sam Allardyce has recently been linked to the manager’s job at Crystal Palace, with current boss, Alan Pardew, coming under increasing pressure at the club. The Telegraph have reported Allardyce is ready to take over should the opportunity arise and if current form is anything to go by, the opportunity could be arising soon.
The 2016/17 Scottish Premiership season is shaping up to be a really entertaining affair. Hearts are back to their best after the struggles they underwent in 2014, while Rangers have returned from the brink to regain their place as Scotland’s second biggest club.
On Wednesday night Arsenal and Southampton go head-to-head at the Emirates Stadium in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.
It’s hard to describe a team that currently sit second in one of Europe’s top leagues as a team ‘in crisis’. Yet, given that Bayern Munich have dominated the Bundesliga almost unchallenged since the 1980s and have won the league title on the last four consecutive occasions, their current form is far below what we have come to expect from the German giants.
Liverpool and Leeds United clash at Anfield on Tuesday night in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Liverpool got back to winning ways on Saturday as the Reds dispatched Sunderland 2-0 at Anfield. Divock Origi and James Milner got on the scoresheet for the Merseysider’s. However, the win may not be the biggest talking of the game.
Liverpool stayed top of the Premier League table on Saturday, despite a goalless draw at Southampton. However, a Chelsea FC win saw Jurgen Klopp’s team drop to 2nd and now are only above third-place Manchester City on goals scored with the two side’s goal difference level.
RB Leipzig, better known as the ‘most hated club in Germany’ sit first place on three points above league heavyweights Bayern Munich with 11 games gone in the Bundesliga season.

After sneaking into the MLS Cup play-offs last season, finishing in sixth place, Toronto FC bettered their performance this time round. Finishing in third place, just one point behind second placed New York City FC, Greg Vanney’s side were unfortunate not to progress straight to the MLS Cup semi-finals. Yet, a knockout round match with Philadelphia Union was never level likely to end their cup run.
June 26th 2015 saw Premier League heavyweights Chelsea announced that Lewis Baker, a promising youngster from their dominant youth development squad, would be joining feeder club Vitesse Arnhem on loan.
New York City FC’s disastrous 7-0 aggregate defeat to Toronto FC marked the end of the line for 38-year-old midfielder Frank Lampard, who soon after announced that he would be departing the emerging club once his contract expires at the end of the year.
Brazil’s impressive recent run of form continued against Colombia on Tuesday night, as the Selecao won 2-0 in Peru. The victory was inspired by soon-to-be Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus, who scored once and also collected an assist.
