Marco Silva is the favourite to become a new Everton manager as soon as Sam Allardyce gets sacked – which is expected to happen today or tomorrow.

Silva, former Watford manager, was Everton owners' desire to replace Ronald Koeman already in October, but the Hornets did not allow negotiations.

Watford suffered from a dip in form soon after which led to Silva himself being replaced by Javi Garcia.

Now the Portuguese could finally arrive at Goodison Park, but according to the Sun, Watford are ready to sue Everton to the Manager's Arbitration tribunal in order to receive huge compensation package.
