Emiliano Martinez: The Argentina goalkeeper was fortunate not to be punished after taking too long over a goal-kick and conceding a corner. He also made a number of saves, although none proved particularly demanding. Martinez was later carried off on a stretcher after a collision with Jarrad Branthwaite in worrying scenes. 6

Josh Acheampong: Acheampong looked a threat going forward but was booked for a late challenge on

Pickford has made 329 appearances for Everton since joining from boyhood club Sunderland.

He has played a major role in helping Everton retain their Premier League status despite managerial sackings, financial rule breaches and points deductions in recent seasons.

He has won 79 caps for England and has been first choice for the Three Lions since the 2018 World Cup.

Burnley: ‘James Trafford can challenge Jordan Pickford for England spot’

By Total Football News

Over 20 clean sheets and only 10 goals conceded.

James Trafford has got international experience at under-21 level, won the Euros, saved a penalty and was remarkable in the final.

I think that experience he already has is key. People might question the level he is at now but I would argue the Championship is not an easy league. It’s really competitive and has different challenges to the Premier League.

Amad Diallo (Manchester United): It’s been really difficult to pick the forwards this week but Amad Diallo is the only one who is a no-brainer. He was excellent, flipped the Manchester derby on its head. As a young man he just seems to be growing better and better.

All that noise around Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, Diallo just seems to be going about his business and delivering on a

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool): Another clean sheet for Liverpool. I don’t think that is being spoken about enough. Some of the passes he played in the win at Crystal Palace with the outside of his foot were easy on the eye, like the one he played to Mohamed Salah to set him away. He just looks more comfortable and more confident.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): Monster. Powerhouse. He never looks worried

Everton 0-0 Newcastle: Pickford penalty save from Gordon ‘double bluff’

By Total Football News

Two seasons ago, Pickford made clever use of notes on a water bottle to save James Maddison’s penalty late in the season, in a draw that went a long way to keeping Everton in the top-flight and sending Leicester down.

This time, he just needed to dig into the memory bank from last weekend when Gordon converted a penalty for the Magpies against champions Manchester City.

The Newcastle forward had
