Now could be a good time to get Victor Anichebe as a cheap option in your fantasy football team - as he's the only fit striker Everton have.
Sunday's 1-0 victory at Tottenham was a great result for the Blues and should keep them on course for the holy grail of European qualification.
But the loss of Ayegbeni Yakubu for the rest of the season after the forward ruptured his Achilles is a huge blow for David Moyes' side, and with Louis Saha aggravating his hamstring injury, Everton physio Mick Rathbone is one man who won't be worried about losing his job post-credit crunch.
All the latest on Everton's injury situation - plus of course all Ian Doyle's analysis on the win over Spurs - is in Monday's Daily Post, as well as a full preview of Liverpool's clash with West Ham as the Reds look to capitalise on Chelsea's defeat to Arsenal and go three points clear at the top.
There's also chief rugby writer Rob Griffiths' verdict on Saturday's impressive victory for Wales over Australia, while in a good week for Welsh sport Mark Currie brings you the action and reaction from Wrexham's 2-1 win at Stevenage Borough.
Oh, and there's full coverage of Manchester United's win in the Eastlands derby - but as I'm a City fan, the less said about that the better!
EVERTON could be back in the top six with victory at Wigan tonight - and they'll be glad to be away from Goodison Park.
David Moyes says his players will feel less under pressure on their travels than in front of their own fans - while they have won just once at Goodison this season, a win at the JJB stadium would be the Blues' third on the bounce on the road this season.
As always there's a full match preview in Monday's Daily Post, and you can keep up to date with tonight's game at www.dailypost.co.uk/sport. And of course, as always chief sports writer Ian Doyle will be giving his verdict on the match in Tuesday's paper.
Also in Monday's paper, Wrexham boss Dean Saunders invents a new word, "flabbergasting", to describe how the Dragons had a host of chances at Kidderminster but still managed to come away with a 1-0 defeat. How many points would Deano get for that in Scrabble?
We've also got Rob Griffiths' verdict on Wales' 29-9 defeat to the All Blacks, and while we're on post-mortems there's all the reaction to Liverpool's dismal 0-0 draw with Fulham.
One more thing - as a lifelong Manchester City fan I'd like to say well done for that stunning victory over Arsenal to Mark Hughes, our manager, Robinho, our Brazilian star player, Stephen Ireland, our player of the season so far, and Daniel Sturridge, our star of the future. More of the same against United next week!
WREXHAM fans might be shocked to learn that last season's unsuccessful battle against relegation cost the club more than £400,000.
As revealed in the Daily Post's sports pages on Monday, that's the figure spent by the Dragons to try and stay in the Football League after Brian Little was brought in as manager 12 months ago.
Also in Monday's paper, former Cameroon World Cup star Patrick Suffo has been offered a "pay as you play" deal by Little's successor Dean Saunders, and the striker could come into contention for Saturday's Blue Square Premier match at Weymouth.
That got us thinking in the office about World Cup stars who've played for Wrexham. So far we've got Trinidad & Tobago stars Carlos Edwards and Dennis Lawrence, and one you might not have heard about in Ron Hewitt, who played for Wales in the 1958 World Cup, and scored 111 goals for the Dragons.
If anybody can think of any more we'd be glad to bow down to your superior knowledge! Although a Wrexham World Cup XI, we think, might be a bridge too far.
Also in Monday's Daily Post, we've got rugby writer Rob Griffiths' analysis of Wales' brave defeat to World Champions South Africa at the Millennium Stadium, plus all the reaction to Joe Calzaghe's victory over Roy Jones Jr - will it really be the phenomenal boxer's last-ever fight?
And of course, there's all the football action from the weekend as Liverpool kept pace with Premier League leaders Chelsea, Everton recorded a third straight victory and champions Manchester United were beaten at Arsenal.
