 Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Carlo Anciolotti is celebrating a year in charge of Everton and a year that has gone pretty well really. Anciolotti took over from Duncan Ffager's news, the caretaker manager, but from Marco Silver as Everton's permanent manager last Christmas with the Blues in the bottom half of the table. And as you know a year later we're fourth in the table and in the quarterfinal of the Carabaugh Cup but certainly gone very well for Carlo this season in particular and obviously his backroom staff at Duncan Ffager's and David Anciolotti also playing a massive part in that and what Everton are doing at the moment. But for Anciolotti another good win at the weekend against Arsenal making the three victories in a week for Everton against three big clubs and giving the Blues a perfect Christmas present to us as fans to see Everton in the top four. So it's been excellent so far we've got a quarterfinal to look forward to on Wednesday and Anciolotti will be hoping for more of this really, more of the same as Everton going on to the second part of the second year of the project with Anciolotti in charge. He's going to assess the fitness of James Rodriguez ahead of the visit of Manchester United on Wednesday. The Colombian missed Everton's two-one win over Arsenal at the weekend. Anciolotti is saying that he is assessing Rodriguez day by day and he'll make a decision on whether he's in the squad for the Cup game closer to the time. One player who did return at the weekend was Seamus Coleman. He returned back to the Everton squad, came on as a second half substitute and there is some thought that Coleman may start against United being out injured for a while now but it's great to see Seamus back in the Everton side. So it will be interesting to see whether he starts or not against United. Just staying with the Carabao Cup, the Carabao Cup final date has been put back from February to April 25th. This could help fans to be back at Wembley Stadium giving it putting enough time between now and obviously the final. Hopefully if the coronavirus situation has improved and people have had more vaccines or whatever, we'll be able to get more fans in the stadium and if Everton were to get there and it's still obviously you know two games away but it would mean you know the opportunity for us to go was fans and what Everton and Wembley whereas if it was still in February that was looking very very unlikely so that could be good news for football fans of the teams left in the Carabao Cup. Everton are ready to offer French left back Luca Dean a new contract. Paul Joyce reported that the Blues are ready to sit down with Dean and extend this contract. He signed for Everton in the summer of 2018. He's been fantastic addition from Barcelona. He's been quite clearly one of Everton's best players. He's currently rehabbing after a ankle injury but great news of Everton cuts high and down with Manchester City apparently watching the situation closely so hopefully Luca Dean will sign a new deal and that is it for the Everton news daily today.
