Sutton's predictions: Everton v Ipswichpublished at 11:06 3 May
11:06 3 May
I am covering this game for BBC Radio 5 Live and I am really looking forward to going to Goodison Park again.
Everything points towards a home win, despite Everton losing their previous two games.
Ipswich are definitely down now and, while they won't throw in the towel, they might be a little less spirited now they know they are relegated.
Their confidence has been sapped over the course of the season and, after watching them recently, I can't back them to get anything here.
They were flimsy against Arsenal, then well beaten by Newcastle, and it would be a shock if they scored at all, let alone break my record for the fastest goal scored by an away player at Goodison.
Everton have stuttered in the past couple of weeks but I don't think that is a bad thing for David Moyes.
He has over-achieved since taking charge in January, when the reality is that he has got the same group of players as his predecessor, Sean Dyche, and there needs to be a lot of work done on improving that squad in the summer.

Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Ipswich (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On if Dominic Calvert-Lewin will feature against Ipswich: "I'm hoping to have him around, he's trained this week. In truth, it's probably too quick to put him back in and even minutes is a bit worrying. I think I want to get him back involved, we only have three or four weeks to go."
On if a new contract has been offered to Calvert-Lewin: "There's not been a contract offer since I've been here, it was under a different regime. We want everyone to have to fight for what they're doing and show what they're worth. We're taking a lot of time to look, unfortunately Dom has been injured for a big part of it but his history has been very good so we will take all that into consideration."
On if Calvert-Lewin will be judged on the final four games before being offered a new contract: "He's only now had three days of training in total so it would be unfair to judge him on the last four games. It's not me who's always judging him, Evertonians will be judging him. I'll make the final decision, but Dom has to show us he's robust and can be fit to play. Undoubtedly he's got qualities other strikers don't have, and he has to show us all when he gets the opportunities that he'll take it. We need him to be ready to train, play, be competitive in more games than he's been available for."
On if Carlos Alcaraz will be offered a permanent deal: "We're keeping our eye on it. He's come on and made a difference in the games, sometimes as a sub he has had a bigger impact. He's done some good things for us."
On a win taking them over the 40 point mark in the league: "The position we were in, obviously 40 points would be a great achievement and hopefully we can do it with games remaining. I'd like Everton to be thinking a lot higher then 40 points in the future, but I take your point, from where we came in it's a great position for us to be in."
On the pressure of having just two games left at Goodison Park: "The pressure the players and the club have been under in the last few years has been incredible. Our pressure now is to play well at Goodison for the ers, for the families that have been here for years and years. It's not pressure of if we will survive or not. Obviously, a determination to do well for everyone that turns up to watch us."
On Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna: "Great manager who half the country wanted last year. Correct me if I'm wrong, I think he's the only one to take a team from League One to Championship to the Premier League - an unbelievable achievement. We're all talking about Wrexham and it's amazing what Phil Parkinson has done, but Kieran has done it to the Premier League. Let's Ipswich is a club if you're of a generation, their teams were challenging for first division titles. He's done it at a real football club. He'll be disappointed with this season but I think he's done a brilliant job."

Would you take Richarlison back at Everton?published at 13:28 2 May

The Blue Room's Warren Doyle has said he would not like to see Richarlison return to Everton this summer.
The Brazil striker left the Toffees in 2022 for Tottenham, but has been rumoured to be on the radar of his former club for the transfer window.
Richarlison has made just 12 league appearances for Spurs this season, scoring four goals.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Doyle said: "If you'd have asked me four months ago, I'd have bitten your hand off to have him back. I think he was obviously much loved by Evertonians and he's the type of player we miss now.
"Where I'm against it is Everton have been accused of being a club that doesn't look forward enough and re-signs ex-players and old managers. He's gone through a lot - he had that spell where he played for Brazil in the Olympics and then the World Cup.
"He played through the pain barrier with Everton because he was determined to get us out the relegation battle. I think that's had a detrimental effect on his career now. He's been very stop-start at Spurs and I don't think they've managed him well.
"It's a situation where I'd like to see Everton not go back. We'd like to see gs that don't come with the baggage Richarlison has, and I say that with the upmost respect because I love him."

Vitalii Mykolenko has nothing but positive things to say about life at Everton under David Moyes.
Aside from missing one game because of injury, the defender has started all Premier League matches since the Scot began his second spell in charge in January.
"But now it's all good, as you can see in the table. We are in good position and, in my opinion, we play much better than the past two years.
"He [Moyes] wants me to in the attacks and he always says you not only have one job on the pitch, but two or three. I'm trying to be my best - not only in defence, but in attack as well.
"I like to play in attack and now I'm working with the coaching staff and the gaffer on that."

Vitor Pereira has revealed he almost ed Wolves' bitter rivals West Brom.
The Portuguese has had several opportunities to move to the Premier League over the last 15 years before being appointed at Molineux in December.
He spoke to Chelsea, Everton, Crystal Palace, Watford and Arsenal and itted he held talks with the Baggies over a decade ago.
"Do you know how many meetings I had here? The first one, West Bromwich, in the Premier League, maybe 15 years ago," he told BBC Sport.
"The second? Everton. Third? Crystal Palace with the proposal, with the contract for two and-a-half years.
"OK, we can celebrate with a pint and then they changed the idea for another but I realised that is normal here.
"After that, Chelsea, then Everton again, then Arsenal. I had a very long, very good meeting with Arsenal before they signed (Mikel) Arteta.
"Watford was the only time that I said no. I didn't want to do it. It was the time that they were relegated."
His previous chance to come to England, before Molineux, was with Everton in 2022 when the Toffees were replacing Rafa Benitez, while he also spoke to them in 2019 as a possible replacement for Marco Silva.
"It was three times with Everton. With Everton, with the contract was agreed – everything – to start to work tomorrow. My bags were packed," he said.
"But when tomorrow came, it was a case of 'check in, check out, check in, check out, check in' – for one week.
"It was winter. It's a lot. It means now I'm very happy to be here.
"I'm very grateful to the club because they gave me the opportunity to be in the league that I believe gives me the opportunity to be at my best level.
"It challenges me and I need to be challenged. If I go to a league and tactically, I cannot express myself, that is not for me. But in this league, I can do it."

Dominic Calvert-Lewin says his "focus will always be Everton" as the striker enters the final months of his contract at Goodison Park.
The 28-year-old has played just three times since the return of David Moyes in January, but says talk about his future is not distracting him from his fight for fitness.
"When you pick up an injury your health becomes your main focus and you can't afford to think about anything else," he said.
"My main focus is making sure I am in the best condition, it's like going through a mini pre-season to get fit for these last four games.
"Regardless of what has happened or external things going on, any player would say that they want to finish the season fit and well."
Calvert-Lewin has scored 57 Premier League goals in 235 appearances for Everton, and says the club has played a big part in his life.
"I have a lot of respect for Everton Football Club, it's given me everything," he said.
"For me it's built a lot of experience, and I have a lot of fond memories.
"With the new manager coming in the club is moving in the right direction, there's a new stadium and there's a lot to be positive about. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that">
