That’s a wrap on today’s live blog. So now attentions can fully turn to the weekend, and what a weekend of football it promises to be, concluding with that titanic Liverpool v Manchester United clash at Anfield. Well, if you don’t count West Ham v Brentford on Monday night, which may not provide as many fireworks. You never know.

Thanks as always for your correspondence and just generally for reading and engaging with myself and the other writers today. A pleasure as always!

Jordan Pickford just goes on and on and on, for England and Everton.

David Moyes described the goalkeeper’s new four-year contract with the Toffees as “really good news” – Pickford has recently hit 900 saves for the club too.

Moyes said: “When I left Sunderland, people connected to Everton asked me about my players. I told them my young goalkeeper was outstanding. Then they went and signed him that summer.”

Pickford is now a “big voice, important figure and senior player”, according to Moyes. And he’s still England’s No 1 – for now.
