- Three Everton questions this week include is Michael Dell readying a takeover?
Everton feel in a state of flux on and off the pitch right now.
On the pitch, the Toffees suffered a second straight Premier League defeat, going down 2-0 at champions Arsenal.
Goals in either half from Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes earned the Gunners all three points at Emirates Stadium.

Off the pitch, there has been nothing tangible on a potential sale after the Friedkin Group announced that they would be willing to sell if the right buyer could be found.
Everton have a busy few days coming up, with a Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Newcastle United on Thursday preceding a trip to very same opponents for Monday Night Football.
Before that, though, here are three questions for Everton fans to ponder from the past week.
Will Michael Dell come back to the table for Everton?
Before TFG completed their takeover from Farhad Moshiri in 2024, there were several names linked with a purchase.

Among them was the mega-wealthy Michael Dell, who ultimately did not go forward with a bid.
It has been suggested by Alan Nixon via his Patreon that Dell could be about to launch a fresh attempt, in a deal worth £1billion.
With a reported net worth of £178bn, it would be an exciting proposition, but as yet nothing concrete has emerged.
Michael Dell's Everton stance revisited as previous claim resurfaces amid takeover developments Is David Moyes too cautious in the current climate?
It is absolutely no secret that David Moyes has a reputation for cautious and pragmatic football.
But it was a discussion on the Blue Room this week that perhaps his pragmatism stifles Everton's ability to be competitive in the big games.

Admittedly, it felt a bit of a hiding to nothing against Arsenal, where Everton often struggle.
The week before, another 2-0 defeat this time to Chelsea, on home turf, felt there was a real lack of ambition in a game that felt winnable.
Given things around Everton a little stale right now, could there be more proactivity in these games?
Is Everton's lack of squad depth baring its teeth now?
Everton having a threadbare squad is nothing new.
Ever since the transfer window closed the Toffees looked way too light on options.
But is it now hurting Everton more than it did then? A couple of minor injuries is exposing the lack of options.

Moreover, there is little Moyes can do right now to freshen things up and rejuvunate the squad.
With the games coming thick and fast before now and Christmas, is that factor going to be even more prevalent.
