When Marco Silva departed Everton in the first half of last season, it saw a bitter curtain brought down on yet another failed experiment at Goodison Park.

Liverpool vs Man City – Combined XI
Liverpool’s recent slump means Sunday’s visit of Manchester City no longer looks the titanic title tussle it seemed like it might be a few weeks ago.

The new Premier League season has seen goals galore, with matches like Manchester United’s 6-1 home loss to Tottenham likely to live long in the memory.

It’s amazing what the return of Allan Saint-Maximin, the gradual lowering of expectations and a deepening sense of crisis have done for perspective at Newcastle United.
