- Big, fun injury update: Manchester United’s Michael Carrick is out for three weeks, Everton’s Jack Rodwell is out for three months, and Tottenham’s Jermain Defoe won’t be back until after Christmas.

- Wayne Rooney’s return to Everton is likely to be more taunt-filled than usual.
- Gary Neville has more respect for Liverpool than he does for Manchester City.
