Everton picked up a valuable point against Arsenal on the weekend.
The Toffees held Arsenal to a goalless draw and there were a number of excellent displays across the pitch.
Gary Lineker hailed Jordan Pickford for his five-save performance whilst Ashley Young earned plaudits once again.
The veteran full-back has deputized superbly well in the absence of Seamus Coleman, who has been plagued by injuries this season.
Armando Broja also received praise for his cameo off the bench and many Everton fans have urged Sean Dyche to start him moving forward, though, he won’t be available for the clash against Chelsea this weekend.
Broja, the Chelsea loanee, is ineligible to play against his parent club, so Dominic Calvert-Lewin is expected to get the nod once again.
The landscape is certainly looking bright on Merseyside now and with the Friedkin Group set to complete their Everton takeover, there could be funds available to spend in January.
With that said, it’s just come to light that Everton are showing an interest in a Manchester United player who’s available for sale.

Everton want to sign Man United defender Victor Lindelof
According to Caught Offside, Everton are showing an interest in signing Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof.
Lindelof is out of contract in the summer and the report claims United are willing to sanction his sale this winter.
Ruben Amorim has transfer listed almost half of his squad and Lindelof looks like he could be one of the first players to leave Old Trafford.
The Sweden international is also willing to leave the club mid-season, so it could be a fairly straightforward deal to do for Everton.
Though, they face competition from Premier League duo Newcastle United and West Ham.
Everton don’t need to sign a centre-back
Everton have far more important issues to address this winter than at centre-back.
Jarrad Branthwaite, James Tarkowski, Jake O’Brien and Michael Keane are more than sufficient depth in that area, so it’s surprising the club are even looking at defensive options.
The Merseysiders are in desperate need of a striker as Calvert-Lewin and Beto have scored a combined three league goals this term.
Plus, Beto is likely to leave Everton in January, so they must prioritise replacing the centre-forward first and foremost.
