Arsenal and Manchester City in action, FA Cup first round news and more – matchday live

Key events29m agoPreambleDavid Moyes has been, let’s say, rather honest in previous assessments of Thierno Barry. But the Everton manager was positively gushing in his praise after the striker’s double against Coventry.“Fabulous! Haaland’s worried about him catching him now! I don’t see many young centre-forwards scoring loads of goals in the Premier League. “He’s settled down a bit more now. His language, his understanding and his communication is much better as well. Obviously he’s working hard to get in those positions to score. I’m really pleased for him.”Here we are Everton fans – the Premier League table. Wind back to the summer when Liverpool had increased their £100m contingent to three and you were heading into the season with Thierno Barry as your only striker. Okay, the Reds could go leapfrog the Blues on Sunday but, for now, Everton are fifth and Barry is the Premier League’s joint-second top scorer.
