The chance to go top of the Premier League table for the first time in 12 years with victory at Aston Villa on Friday night dominates the latest Royal Blue podcast, hosted as ever by our Everton FC correspondent Phil Kirkbride and featuring Adam Jones, Sam Carroll and Dave Prentice. But while even a stay at the summit may only be fleeting, what would it do, and what would a strong start to the season do, which looks possible given the favourable fixtures, for the Blues? Our panel discuss that along with who should start in midfield and an even bigger selection poser for Marco Silva. Also on the agenda is Richarlison, and why an old saying rings true for the brilliant Brazilian, while Sam explains his particular dislike for Villa. And before the usual predictions, there is a discussion over new comments made by Romelu Lukaku that underline why the Belgian will never be truly loved by the Goodison faithful even if he remains the club's record Premier League goalscorer.
