Fabrizio Romano says Fulham have already opened talks to beat Everton to £35m striker
The transfer window may have just shut, but Fulham are already trying to get an edge on Everton ahead of the summer.

Premier League clubs did not do a lot of business in this year's winter window and Everton were no different.

David Moyes had to wait right until the final moments to see his only signing of the market confirmed on Merseyside.

Despite being linked with a number of players, Everton decided to wait until the summer for a striker signing.

However, there may be one striker target who could be off the radar by the time the summer comes around as Fulham are already lining up a deal.

Fulham aiming to beat Everton to Ricardo Pepi
Everton showed an interest in Ricardo Pepi over the winter window as his future with PSV Eindhoven came under real speculation.

It was not until deadline day that it was decided he would remain in the Netherlands.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Fulham are now looking to pick up their negotiations to agree a deal ahead of the summer.

It is claimed the Fulham management are already locked in talks with both Pepi and PSV to strike the deal.

The Cottagers want this deal wrapped up as early as possible.

Fulham had a bid of around £26m rejected over recent weeks for the American striker, which goes to show roughly how much it will take to secure his services.

Reports have suggested that PSV value Pepi in the region of £35m.

For Everton, their squad is now set for the remainder of the season and Moyes will be hoping his strikers repay his faith in them.

Everton have placed a lot of faith in Thierno Barry and Beto
On paper, the recent weeks have been fairly positive for Everton's two strikers, with some goals being scored by the pair.

Some of their individual performances may not have passed the eye test, but goals is the only thing that matters for a striker.

A lot of clubs showed an interest in Beto over the winter window as Moyes decided he should remain for at least the remainder of the season.

Barry is still the starting striker on Merseyside, but the recent game against Brighton & Hove Albion shows that Beto is still pushing him from the bench.

Perhaps Moyes finally has the healthy competition up front he'd been wishing for all season.

Timings for Celebration Day: Fulham v Everton
Tomorrow marks Fulham's fifth annual Celebration Day. This important initiative recognises the strength of Fulham family, and we ask you to join us tomorrow in remembering those who sadly passed away over the past year.

The partnership between the Trust, who will be represented on the pitch by our Chair, Simon Duke, and our Treasurer, Jerry Cope, and Fulham Football Club will hopefully provide some comfort to those of you who are finding it difficult to come back to Craven Cottage without a loved one or friend.

We are once again indebted to Fulham Football Club for their support of this special day. We would like to thank Club director David Daly, and the Club's chaplain, The Reverend Gary Piper, who will lay wreathes in memory of our Fulham family before kick-off against Everton.

We would recommend that all supporters should take their seats by 2:40 pm. A video montage displaying the names and pictures of our late friends will begin at 2:45 pm. The players from both sides and the match officials will walk out on the Craven Cottage pitch at approximately 2:54pm. Wreathes will then be laid by the representatives of the Trust and the Club before a minute's applause will commence with the sound of the referee's whistle. Matchday master of ceremonies Ivan Berry will read the names of those supporters we are remembering during the half-time interval.

We thank our members and the entire Fulham family for their ongoing support of Celebration Day.

'We are still waiting' - Fulham midfielder Iwobi hopes Super Eagles will feature in 2026 World Cup
Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi showcased his playmaking and passing abilities at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, influencing games decisively with several pre-assists.

The Super Eagles secured a third-place finish in Morocco, defeating Egypt 4-2 on penalties to claim a spot on the podium.

While the victory brought some solace, Nigeria's dream of reaching the 2026 Fifa World Cup suffered a setback following a heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the African playoffs in November 2025, a month before the Afcon.

In the aftermath, the Nigeria Football Federation lodged a complaint with Fifa over the use of allegedly ineligible dual-national players, including Manchester United alums Axel Tuanzebe and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, hoping a favourable ruling could revive the team's World Cup qualification hopes.

Iwobi was a member of the Super Eagle squad at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he featured in all the matches contested by the three-time African champions.

When asked if he would have traded the Afcon bronze medal for a World Cup spot, Iwobi told SuperSport: "We are still waiting, we are hoping we can go to the World Cup but I feel it's a tough one.

"It's a tough one because winning Afcon is a great legacy, a great thing to happen in your career, and a memorable moment.

"But at the same time, I've been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven't. They would like to say, 'I want to go to the World Cup'.

"I cannot be selfish and say win the Afcon and for my teammates not to go to the World Cup. It's a tough one, I don't know."

A former England youth international, Iwobi is three games away from reaching the milestone of 100 appearances for the Super Eagles.

Tax issue may have paused Fulham arrival – Work for summer transfer ongoing
Fulham were unsuccessful in their repeated efforts to sign PSV Eindhoven's Ricardo Pepi in the winter market.

On January 12th, the Dutch club's general manager, Marcel Brands, confirmed, Fulham's €25m bid wasn't sufficient. Towards the end of the window, Marco Silva's side returned with €35m.

Earlier this week, PSV technical director Earnie Stewart confirmed Fulham's late approach. He also explained a lack of sufficient time to find a suitable replacement for Pepi saw them reject the London club's improved proposal.

Despite facing multiple rejections in the recently concluded window, Fulham aren't giving up on the American. Eindhovens Dagblad, a newspaper local to PSV, covers the latest.

The 23-year-old suffered an injury in January and should return to the pitch in the coming weeks.

He 'was and is open' to a move to the Premier League side. Work is ongoing to try and sign him for the summer. According to the report, Fulham are in ongoing discussions with all parties involved.

Silva's side aren't discussing the figure for the summer, but such a deal can be beneficial for PSV from a sporting and financial perspective. Pepi will remain at the club until the end of the season.

Fulham move may have hit tax issues
ED state: 'Furthermore, a transfer could be more tax-efficient for PSV. Noa Lang, Johan Bakayoko, and Malik Tillman generated between €80-90m, and PSV has also played in the Champions League. This means PSV already made a net profit without Pepi's transfer. From a tax perspective, an additional sale would likely result in an additional expense.'

Fulham are in ongoing negotiations with the Eredivisie side but don't seem close to finding an agreement. Either way, the English club are still keen and Pepi is open to joining them after this season.

There will be more developments in this case in the coming days and weeks.

Pepi has 11 goals and two assists from 22 matches this season.

Norwich City Women Face Fulham in a Title 'Six-Pointer'
Norwich City Women face Fulham, as the FA Women's National League Division One South East title rivals go head-to-head.

There are only a limited number of tickets remaining for the massive match at The Nest, where Norwich start two points ahead of the Cottagers but have played a game more.

Fulham have this week made two new additions, with Scotland U-19 international forward Leila Lister joining from Butler University in the US and former Spurs, Crystal Palace, and Oxford United defender Hannah Mackenzie arriving from AFC Wimbledon.

Still in the same division, there's a basement battle between AFC Sudbury and a Chesham side still looking for their first win, trailing their hosts by five points.

West Brom and AFC Bournemouth try again to play their League Cup tie, as Plymouth Argyle await the winners in the final at Loftus Road.

Second-placed Wolves play Rugby, who are third in the Northern Premier, while basement side Sporting Khalsa host Halifax, who are just the other side of the relegation zone.

Watford are at home to fourth-in-the-table Oxford United but could surrender the Southern Premier leadership to Plymouth if they fail to win.

Two of the Division One North title chasers clash as Cheadle take on Leeds, while Doncaster bid to escape the drop zone when traveling to a winless Blackburn.

Division One Midlands leaders Boldmere can't afford to drop points at home to Northampton, with title favourites Peterborough ready to pounce and hosting Sutton Coldfield.

Division One South West top team Moneyfields meet Portishead, while Swindon go to Ascot looking to return to winning ways after dropping their first points.

Harry Wilson to 'U-turn' on Fulham transfer plan amid Everton 'talk' claim
Harry Wilson could agree a new Fulham contract after not leaving Craven Cottage in the January transfer window.

That is according to ex-Everton, Aston Villa, and Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, who states Fulham "would like to keep" Wilson at the club.

Fulham were braced for interest in Wilson in January, with the midfielder's contract expiring at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed a fine season at Fulham so far, with eight goals and four assists in 23 Premier League appearances.

Fulham need to make Harry Wilson decision
Everton's former chief Keith Wyness – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – believes Wilson will remain at Fulham.

Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider's Inside Track podcast, Wyness thinks Wilson would be "welcomed" at Everton despite previously playing for Liverpool.

He told Football Insider's Inside Track podcast: "Yeah, I know that Fulham would like to keep him. You can see Wilson and Oscar Bob being quite a combination.

"I was hoping he was going to come to Everton. There was talk at one stage as well. He made sense there. Even though he'd played for Liverpool, I still think he'd have been welcomed at Hill Dickinson Stadium. But where is he going to go?

"I think he may end up somehow staying at Fulham now. I think he was really agitated for a move on this new contract, and so they're going to have to decide what they're going to do with him. He is a talented player. He can do a job for somebody. Tammy Abraham coming into Villa seems to preclude that still, unless you're at getting rid of Ollie Watkins and bringing Wilson in as a replacement for Ollie Watkins in some way.

"That's the only way I could see it at Villa. But I think something in the back of my heart says he's going to end up still staying at Fulham."

Wilson receives extra attacking support
Oscar Bobb has been backed to make an impact at Fulham, with the 22-year-old signing from Manchester City.

Bobb will link up with Wilson to add an extra dimension to Marco Silva's attack, with the Cottagers looking to break into the European places.

Fulham have relied on Wilson and striker Raul Jimenez for goals this season, with Rodrigo Muniz currently on the sidelines.

Olyott up for PL2 Player of the Month
Tom Olyott is up for PL2 Player of the Month for January.

The forward played an integral role in our unbeaten start to 2026, registering three assists in four starts.

All three of Olyott's assists during the month came against East Anglian opposition. A perfectly weighted ball for Aaron Loupalo-Bi set us on our way in a 2-1 victory over Ipswich.

His two assists for Tom Wingate in last Friday's win at Norwich were almost identical. Olyott's delightful whipped crosses only needed a deft touch from Wingate, who scored a brace to secure a 2-0 win in Norfolk.

Olyott's competiton comes from Kieran Morrison (Liverpool), Shim Mheuka (Chelsea), Matty Warhurst (Manchester City), Keyrol Figueroa (Liverpool), Reggie Walsh (Chelsea), Emmanuel Osho (Reading) and Ármin Pécsi (Liverpool).

Fulham re-open talks to seal blockbuster striker signing on pre-agreed deal as star says YES
Fulham are back at the negotiating table with PSV Eindhoven over a potential move for Ricardo Pepi and are now hopeful of a breakthrough, with the structure of the deal emerging as a key factor, TEAMtalk understands.

The Cottagers' pushed hard to land the striker in the January window, and their original proposal hinged on reaching PSV's £30million valuation through staggered payments, with a reduced up-front fee designed to ease the immediate financial impact.

PSV already had reservations about sanctioning Pepi's departure midway through the season, though, and they ultimately pulled the plug on talks, citing a lack of time to source a suitable replacement.

Now, sources indicate groundwork is being laid for PSV to find a new striker, a development that strongly suggests a summer exit for Pepi is on the cards.

The United States international has notched 11 goals in 22 appearances for PSV this season. He will be hopeful his positive form continues, and that he can thrive at the World Cup in his home nation.

The caveat for Fulham is that if Pepi performs well in the World Cup, more suitors could emerge.

That is a reason why Marco Silva's side are working on a deal now, and are pushing to pre-agree a deal before the end of this season.

Fulham pushing to seal striker signing – he wants the move
Fulham still need to revise their offer as discussions open up again. It is expected that PSV will now look for a higher up-front payment than was discussed during January negotiations in order to green-light the transfer.

Pepi himself remains hopeful that PSV will soften their stance, with the 23-year-old understood to be very keen on completing a move to Craven Cottage.

Fulham, meanwhile, are pushing to get an agreement in place ahead of the next transfer window, as they're aware that delaying talks could open the door for rival clubs to swoop in.

The club are keen to bring in more competition for Raul Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz in the striker position.

Jimenez is past his prime at the age of 34 and even though he's notched six Premier League goals this season, Fulham can't rely on him for the long-term.

Muniz, 24, hasn't made an appearance since November due to a hamstring injury, leaving Fulham stretched.

Pepi is the man they want and it will be interesting to see if Fulham can reach a crucial pre-agreement.

Everton reveal shows why David Moyes is set for Craven Cottage joy this weekend
David Moyes will be looking to push Everton further up the Premier League table when they travel to face Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Tyrique George could be in line for his debut after he completed his switch from Chelsea on deadline day.

George is looking forward to playing in front of Everton supporters, but this weekend, he will have to settle for a reduced number with the game being at Craven Cottage.

Everton had previously beaten Fulham earlier in the season, and now Moyes has the chance to achieve an Everton feat 12 years in the making.

A win for the Blues would go a long way in Everton's European ambitions, and that could be aided by a stat about the Toffees' defence this season.

Why Everton's defence could get them a win against Fulham
Moyes has built an Everton side that are becoming increasingly difficult to beat when they are on the road, and that is clear in the numbers.

In the Premier League, only Arsenal are better defensively when away from home than the Toffees. This season, they have conceded just 11 goals in 12 away Premier League games, which is fewer than a goal a game.

In fact, it is the club's best defensive record on the road since 2008-09 (17 in 19 games).

With this record, Everton have earned more points away from home (18 out of 36) than they have while playing at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

It presents a good opportunity for yet another strong result for Moyes when they face Fulham.

Everton forwards need to reward their defensive teammates
It is all well and good being defensively sound at the back, but if the forwards are not able to reward their teammates' hard work by scoring goals and pushing Everton to a win, it will all be done in vain.

Goals ultimately win games, and while being hard to score against is an excellent trait, Everton's win-draw-loss record this season shows that is the biggest concern.

Thierno Barry looks to have turned a corner in front of goal, and Beto's recent equaliser against Brighton should hopefully be a much-needed confidence boost.

The arrival of George could further help Everton's woes in front of goal. If they can begin finding the net more often, then this away stat could truly be a great omen.

Hopefully, another good away trip is on the cards for the travelling supporters.

Everton predicted XI vs Fulham as David Moyes makes big Tyrique George decision
Everton fans will be very keen to see whether a debut could be on the cards for Tyrique George on Saturday.

A quiet winter window for Everton was capped off with the late addition of George from Chelsea on an initial loan deal.

The early signs are extremely positive, with George seriously impressing in Everton training back at Finch Farm.

However, whether that translates into his first start for the club on Saturday against Fulham is another question.

David Moyes is not typically a manager who throws players straight into the mix, as was seen when Jack Grealish landed on Merseyside

Fans will be keen to see the 20-year-old thrown in at the deep end as Everton News shares our predicted XI for the trip to Craven Cottage.

Tyrique George simply must make his Everton debut
The footage from Everton's training sessions this week has wowed the fanbase and it is no surprise.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has waxed lyrical about George following their time together at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea.

Ironically, George has scored one Premier League goal in his 12 appearances and that came away to Fulham.

It will be interesting to see whether Moyes feels as if George has shown enough to warrant making the starting XI.

However, he is only on loan until the end of the season, which means he does have limited time to showcase his ability on Merseyside.

The direct nature of his game was apparent in the training footage shared and that is something that could really improve Everton's attack.

Nathan Patterson should return to the starting XI
On deadline day, Everton decided to keep Nathan Patterson despite receiving interest from clubs across Europe.

The right-back was dropped back to the bench for the game last weekend against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Jake O'Brien has been a solid option for Moyes, but Everton need a natural right-back playing in the position.

Wolves made a late push for Patterson on deadline day, but now it is time for Moyes to give him a run in the side.

Whether Moyes does that remains to be seen.

David Moyes left with an interesting midfield decision
Harrison Armstrong did not return to Preston North End on loan for the remainder of the season.

Now, Everton fans will want to see the youngster utilised by Moyes after deciding against sending him back to Deepdale, where he would have played regular minutes.

James Garner has nailed down his spot in the Everton XI, which leaves Idrissa Gana Gueye's usual spot up for grabs for Armstrong.

The 18-year-old is the future of Everton's midfield, but will Moyes be willing to uproot the experienced Senegal international just yet?

Paul Merson has noticed something 'different' about Everton as he shares his Fulham prediction
Everton make the trip down to the capital this weekend where they will be taking on Fulham.

It is a reunion for Everton with their former manager Marco Silva as the Blues look to get only their second win of the year on the board.

Everton's game against Fulham will be officiated by Stuart Attwell, who is certainly not a popular figure among the fans on Merseyside.

The last two months have not been overly kind to Everton, with injuries and other absences derailing their form.

David Moyes will be aware that his side remain in touching distance of the European spots, but they desperately need to put pick up some consistent wins.

A massive opportunity lies ahead for the Blues at the weekend as Paul Merson has now shared his prediction for the game at Craven Cottage.

Paul Merson shares his Fulham vs Everton prediction
Stuart Attwell will be officiating Fulham vs Everton at the weekend in a decision that will not impress the travelling fans.

The two sides sit on the same number of points and the same goal difference in the Premier League table.

Speaking to Sportskeeda, Merson has now admitted that he thinks Silva is going to get one over his former side at the weekend, with a 2-0 defeat for Everton.

"I thought Fulham were unlucky the other day against Manchester United. Everton are different away from home. So it's really hard to pick a winner in this game as well!" he said.

"A win would put Fulham back in contention for Europe. In fact, if they beat Everton, they will move to within three points of fifth-placed Chelsea. I'm expecting it to happen."

Fulham are the overwhelming favourites to beat Everton given the Blues have only been able to secure one win since the turn of the year.

The European spots are there for the taking this season, but Everton have only secured two wins from their last nine games.

Everton need to start taking their chances in the Premier League
No more cup games are on the fixture list for Everton, with full focus now on the Premier League.

Everton's form away from home has been excellent this season and it has been what Moyes has hung his hat on.

Opportunities like Saturday are exactly what Everton need to make the most of by taking points from a side sitting on the same number of points.

Moyes wants Everton to push for the European spots this season and consistency is going to be key to that.

Everton are not going to be relegated this season, which should be the reason why Moyes removes the shackles for the remaining months.

Fulham handed major injury boost as Marco Silva provides Rodrigo Muniz latest
Pair will be welcome returners for Cottagers

Fulham have been handed a major injury boost ahead of their clash with Everton this weekend, with Rodrigo Muniz and Oscar Bobb both fit to play.

The pair have been sidelined since November and December respectively, with Bobb having recently signed from Manchester City.

Muniz, who had scored once and assisted once in seven Premier League games before his hamstring injury, returned to team training two weeks ago, but had been ruled out of upcoming matches by his manager Marco Silva.

However, ahead of the Cottagers' clash against Silva's former side Everton on Saturday, the Portuguese confirmed that the Brazilian forward would be fit to play.

"Having Rodrigo back is good," Silva said. "For us, it's better to have a week like this."

As for Bobb, the £27m January arrival, Silva revealed that the Norwegian had overcome a hamstring problem and could make his debut this weekend.

Meanwhile, Kenny Tete is also in contention to play after he returned from a hamstring problem.

"Tete will be in contention, in the squad list," the Cottagers boss said. "Good to have him back."

However, it was not all positive news, with Sasa Lukic still ruled out with his own hamstring injury that he picked up against Leeds.

"Just Sasa is [not] going to be in contention," Silva said.

"It's going to be too soon; he's not even training with the team yet. It's going to be more weeks."

Fulham find themselves in surprise European contention this term, sat in ninth in the Premier League table.

They are five points off Liverpool in 6th, having slipped somewhat in two of their last three games.

Most recently, they were beaten in the dying embers at Old Trafford thanks to Benjamin Sesko's late winner, earning a 3-2 victory for Manchester United.

They were also beaten 1-0 at Elland Road, but bounced back to defeat Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 at home.

Pre-Everton Press Conference
Marco Silva is relishing the opportunity to host Premier League football at Craven Cottage again on Saturday.

Having taken 10 points from our last four on home turf, Silva was asked in his pre-Everton press conference what playing at the Cottage means to him.

"Incredible, the feeling that we're going to have tomorrow again," he said. "It's a special place for us.

"We are creating the right environment, between ourselves, between players and fans, and all of us in the same place and going in the direction that we want to go.

"Any game is very demanding, very tough. You can take nothing as granted in this level that we are playing, always very tough opposition there, but we have to be able to respond in many different ways to the demands from the game.

"We have a plan, we know what we have to do. The other side is a very good side, too, that will try to block ourselves and not let us go in the direction that we want.

"But it's been special, it's a place where we feel very, very, very well, and tomorrow we have another chance to prove again our quality at home."

The Toffees represent a very tough test, especially considering their form on the road.

Only Arsenal and Aston Villa have won more away matches than their five, while their 11 goals conceded can only be bettered by the Gunners.

"You are right, their defensive record so far away from home has been very, very good," Silva replied when asked about the numbers.

"Showed many different things – showed the resilience that they have, the capacity they have in some moments, even without the ball, to control games as well.

"It's not just because [of their defence] they achieved good results away from home, they have been difficult to beat. We know that they are strong in their moments in the game – set-pieces, long throws and all that stuff.

"And if we are resilient enough, and we show good defensive organisation like we have been showing, of course we can be closer to win a football match.

"The goals they conceded, they are a good example of [doing well] away from home, but we are at home, where we have been stronger as well. We expect a certain type of game, so let's see what is going to happen or not, but we are aware of all the things.

"I knew clearly what you're talking about, about the away goals conceded and all that stuff. We know that, we have been preparing ourselves for the game in the best way, and I'm really positive, first of all, knowing that it's going to be a tough game, that we are going to respond in the way that we should after that down against Man United, a game that we didn't deserve to lose."

Silva welcomes return of key Fulham players
Marco Silva has declared that "everything is different" for Fulham now that key players have returned to the squad.

Only Sasa Lukic is unavailable for Saturday's game against Everton – the Serbian is still out after picking up a hamstring injury.

After the signing of Oscar Bobb and the returns of Rodrigo Muniz and Kenny Tete, boss Silva now has more options at his disposal, after months without important players.

"The environment is good, the feelings are very good, finally. And you can feel it during the week how competitive it will be in the future and it was during this week as well," said Silva.

"So far the competition, the sound, everything is different. It's nice to see all of them around and all of them competing for the position.

"Of course, it's going to be tougher sessions, more competitive sessions. It's a very good feeling for me, for my staff and even the players."

Striker Muniz will return after being absent since the reverse fixture in November, when he had to be substituted after coming on against Everton.

"It's always very good if you look around yourself and you see solutions there to have an impact," said Silva.

Matchday Preview: Everton
🆚 Everton
🏟 Craven Cottage
🏆 Premier League
🗓 Saturday 7th February
⏰ 3pm

The opposition

Everton have been enjoying some steady – if unspectacular – form since Christmas, losing just one of their seven fixtures in the Premier League. They've had some good results on the road in that time, too, leaving both Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa with maximum points, while they bagged a 97th minute equaliser to claim a point in Brighton last week. It's a run that has them sitting level on 34 points with Fulham, but a place lower due to goals scored.

Team news

🤍 Saša Lukić is Fulham's only absentee, meaning we could be boosted by an Oscar Bobb debut and the return of Rodrigo Muniz to the matchday squad for the first time since we last faced the Toffees, back in November.

🍬 Jack Grealish could be out for the remainder of the season, but Vitalii Mykolenko returns after missing the Brighton draw. Deadline day arrival Tyrique George will be in the squad.

We are sold out for Saturday! The Ticket Exchange is open, though.

Programme

In a sport that rarely stands still, Fulham's decision to extend Tom Cairney's contract was rooted firmly in the present. Performances, standards, influence - not reputation.

The skipper, who turned 35 last month, remains a key part of Marco Silva's plans, trusted to contribute in the toughest league in the world and to set the tone inside the dressing room.

"I've always said this is my club," he tells the official matchday programme for the visit of Everton. "It feels right to still be here. As long as I'm playing, affecting games, and helping the Club on and off the pitch, I'll stay as long as possible. That's always been my mindset.

"I arrived here a long time ago now, and the journey since then has been huge. I've come a long way since 2015. As long as I can contribute, I'll keep going. I love being here. I love playing here. And I'm proud to keep wearing this shirt."

Elsewhere in the publication which marks Fulham's fifth annual Celebration Day, Silva, Robert Wilson and Gentleman Jim pen their regular columns, while Jorge Cuenca lifts the lid on his teammates and Tomasz Radzinski is the next interview in our Cult Heroes series.

The programme will be on sale around the ground on Saturday, priced £4, or available to purchase online.
