Jordan Pickford is criminally underrated The Everton and England No 1 has been at peak performance for almost half a decade and makes my top 10 list of all-time Premier League goalkeepers

Jordan Pickford’s consistent excellence is still a little overlooked, I reckon. This year he will likely become the longest-serving undisputed England No. 1 in history. He’s been at peak performance for almost half a decade.

Five problems strangling Arsenal's title bid - and only one is their 'bottle' Bottlejobs? That's far from the only reason Arsenal are dropping points

Arsenal are teetering, fear becoming a self-inflicting weapon. And I don’t think that their problems are only psychological.

The Championship is about to change forever - and not in a good way Radical plans to expand the play-offs pose a huge risk to the integrity of the competition
