Everton will remain defiant and resilient, even in the face of an ‘unjust’ threat of relegation, as they front up to their points deduction head on.

Everton claimed injustice on and off the pitch at Goodison – as rising star Alejandro Garnacho cheekily declared himself the ‘goal of the season’ winner a third of the way into the season.

Former Government Minister Andy Burnham has branded the Premier League’s decision to deduct 10 points from Everton as “an abuse of process” and “regulatory malpractice" and has demanded it be declared null and void.

Incredibly, the Liverpool manager has a WINNING record against the Catalan, who is regarded as amongst the best coaches in history - a unique feat amongst bosses who’ve played more than three matches against Guardiola.
