Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen is attracting strong interest ahead of the summer transfer window when a release clause in his contract will become active

Everton take on Bournemouth in the FA Cup fourth-round on Saturday and David Moyes is hoping to bring more good memories to Goodison Park in the competition

Updates from St James’ Park (agg 2-0, 8pm KO)First leg report | Howe tells side to ‘leave a legacy’ As well as being a terrifyingly long time in politics, a month is also a long time in football. When Newcastle won 2-0 at the Emirates in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, they looked nailed on to reach their second final in three years. Alexander Isak was Europe’s hottest striker, Newcastle were on a run of seven straight wins and Mikel Arteta was being openly ridiculed for talking balls. Fast forward four weeks and the landscape looks very different. Newcastle have lost their last two games at home, including a 4-1 shellacking by Bournemouth, and Arsenal are high on life after thrashing Manchester City 5-1 on Sunday. Continue reading...

BBC Sport looks back at Romelu Lukaku's performance on this day eight years ago when the Belgian scored four goals in a 6-3 win for Everton against Bournemouth.

Today’s tittle-tattle wants to use the word ‘snafu’ more in everyday conversation The transfer window may have been quietly closed by a diligent employee of the Football Association who doesn’t mind working late because they’re a bit of a night owl, but plenty of mouths are still wide open, speculating about what will happen when the window reopens in the summer.

Arsenal relish City demolition as Sels shines while Liverpool carry on regardless at the top Any successful title challenge needs a statement victory to install belief and reset previous concerns. Beating Manchester City must now be Arsenal’s foundation and not the zenith. Arsenal have played much of this season as if distracted by situations beyond their control – referees, their rivals’ dispositions and their relative luck with injuries. The second-half performance was a reminder of how Mikel Arteta previously took Arsenal to the verge of title wins, playing high-grade attacking football, pressing their opponents into mistakes. Has the high-quality football returned at the right time? Arteta’s team maintained discipline, not rising to provocations before taking advantage of City’s malfunctions to run in five goals. All without Bukayo Saka, whose loss was supposed to be the end of the affair. In Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, both on the scoresheet, the next generation made its contribution on a perfect Sunday for club and manager. One to celebrate and build on, not bask in.
