Thanks.

That's the last of the reaction from the manager's boxed off but we've got plenty more to bring you throughout this morning and afternoon.

We'll be reflecting more on Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby and looking at where it leaves both teams.

The Magpies continue to fly and Alexander Isak is a big reason why. How important is he to Newcastle's success and can Eddie Howe's men force their way into the title reckoning?

Also, Everton and the relegation battle as a whole. It was Moyes misery rather than Moyes magic on his return to Goodison Park. Who is going to escape the drop this season?

Stick with us - there's loads to come!

Whatever methods Oliver Glasner is using, they seem to be working.

After a difficult start to the season, with no wins from their opening eight Premier League matches, Crystal Palace have moved away from danger.

They are now eight points above the relegation zone and unbeaten in their last four league games.

The signs don't look good for Ruud van Nistelrooy's Leicester City though.

After six straight defeats, it is hard to see where their next win is coming from. In-form Fulham are next up at King Power Stadium.

Oliver Glasner hinting at a half-time hair-dryer there...he seems like such a mild-mannered chap too.

Palace midfielder Will Hughes backed that up in this interview with the club website: "There were a few choice words [from manager Glasner] at half-time. We weren't at the races and were lucky to get in at 0-0.

"But that is always a blessing when you're not really playing too well. And then obviously there was a reaction in the second half [from Palace], I think we thought we deserved it in the end.

"It shows the character of the team and that we can do it, but we need to be more consistent."

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner speaking to Match of the Day: "We have to be critical of our performance in the first half. It was a little bit louder in the dressing room and the players showed a good reaction. We have to improve our performance.

"We were more aggressive. I told the players and showed them clips about tactical adjustments. We were just jogging about the pitch and this is what we showed them. We did it better in the second half but still not our top level. We can't be happy with the performance in the first half."

Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to Match of the Day: "I think the difference in performance first and second-half for us was too big. Crystal Palace are lethal, they are effective and put their first chances in and took the momentum.

"We wanted to prove today that we were growing and have improved. We did that for 45 minutes very well but it is about consistently performing for 90 minutes and we are not there yet.

"I think it is vital that the club sticks together. In difficult times, we need to stick together."

Leicester City, however, are on a run of six consecutive defeats, their latest coming at home to Crystal Palace.

A clinical display from Oliver Glasner's Palace side increased the pressure on Foxes manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

In a game short of quality, Jean-Philippe Mateta's opener - seven minutes into the second half - was Palace's first effort on target.

He latched on to a through ball after a driving run from Ismaila Sarr and took a touch round the advancing goalkeeper, before tapping into the empty net for his sixth Premier League goal of the season.

England centre-back March Guehi then sealed the win for Palace as he superbly volleyed home a free-kick after drifting in from the left channel.

Leicester were the better team in the first period but aside from Jamie Vardy missing a one-on-one, they struggled to create any clear-cut chances.

There are no such concerns for Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, whose side made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League as they continue to eke out the points needed to stay in the race for European qualification.

"We have broken the bad spell," he told BBC's Match of the Day.

"I am very happy. It was a tough match. We played 90 minutes and competed very well.

"We had some clear chances in the first half and we tried to push and take even more control in the second but we couldn't, but we scored.

"This victory is very important. We have started the year winning at home, in the Premier League and in the FA Cup. Away, we were in a bad spell and had to break it."

The latest stats provided by Opta's Supercomputer give Everton a 19.8% chance of being relegated this season.

That is significantly lower than their rivals, if that helps at all Nipper.

Here is a full rundown of the relegation chances of those teams in the lower reaches of the table:

• Southampton 99.7%(!)
• Leicester 86.9%
• Wolves 35.7%
• Ipswich 56.7%
• Everton 19.8%
• Man Utd 0.3%
• Palace 0.4%
• Spurs 0.1%

I think this Everton squad is slightly better than last season and I just look at the teams below, even though they have picked up points - I still do think there's three teams worse than Everton.

I don't think it's going to be a drastic improvement from David. I think he's going to slowly but surely just guide Everton away from the bottom three. Obviously a lot of Everton fans will just be happy to stay up this season to get into the new ground and then we start a slow rebuild.

You don't have to be a scientist to know that the squad needs a lift. I've been there myself. I remember when Joseph Yobo signed - it was more or less a replacement for me and it gave me a kick up the backside because it gave me competition. These players need that right now because they need to up their levels a little bit.

Matt, Manchester: In my view, Everton need four things in order to stay up:

1. Dwight McNeil back to fitness
2. A right winger capable of beating a man and getting crosses into the box
3. ⁠A creative midfielder capable of controlling possession
4. ⁠A genuine goalscorer.

Given the club’s ongoing financial challenges, achieving all four in January feels impossible. They may well be relying on three teams faring even worse come the end of May.

Some 4,266 days since last taking charge of an Everton home match - a 2-0 victory over a side he would later go on to manage in West Ham - David Moyes was back in the dugout at Goodison Park and witnessed the monumental job he has walked in to.

Moyes, 61, is the oldest manager currently in the top flight and he will need to use all those years of experience as he attempts to keep the Blues afloat come May.

Dyche managed to salvage survival on two occasions, but having won only three times this season Moyes faces a colossal task to ensure the club maintains its proud record of being ever-present in the Premier League.

Goals win games, and Everton have not claimed enough victories because of their struggles in putting the ball in the back of the net - they have scored just 15 times in 20 games this term, with only bottom side Southampton faring worse with 12.

Moyes said on Monday that Dominic Calvert-Lewin needs to get his scoring boots back on, but the striker has now gone 16 games without a goal, a run stretching back to September, and missed plenty of chances to give his boss a winning return.

Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to Match of the Day: "There was very little in the game, they had a couple of chances which we were fortunate with. We needed a better control of the game, a better level of possession.

"We didn't deliver at set pieces and we had six or seven corners and a good chance at the end. The game was really tight, just a slight lax allowed them to score."

David Moyes' return to Everton was ruined by Ollie Watkins' second-half winning goal for Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Manager Moyes was taking charge of the Toffees after replacing Sean Dyche, who was sacked last week, but there was little joy for the Scot almost 12 years after leaving the club for Manchester United.

Everton were architects of their own downfall as Morgan Rogers picked off Jarrad Branthwaite's loose pass on 51 minutes before feeding Watkins and the Villa striker slid home a clinical finish past England team-mate Jordan Pickford.

The result leaves Moyes' side teetering one point and two places above the relegation zone, while Villa are seventh, three points outside the top four.
