Crystal Palace v Everton, London, UK - 11 Nov 2023 Sean Dyche, Manager of Everton after the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Everton at Selhurst Park, London on 11 November 2023 London Selhurst Park London England Copyright: xMicahxCrook/PPAUKx PPA-067861
Sean Dyche’s job as Everton boss will not be in any danger if the Blues lose at Aston Villa on Saturday evening.
Everton are already bottom of the Premier League without a point and defeat at Villa Park would consign the Merseyside club to four straight league losses for the first time during Dyche’s 20-month reign. Some fans would like to see the return of former boss David Moyes, who left West Ham in the summer, and the Scot enjoyed 11 successful years with Everton before he joined Manchester United in 2013.
Dyche’s position will not be under any threat if Everton lose and the club feel he has enough credit in the bank after his two successful relegation battles. Dyche also managed to keep Everton up comfortably last season, despite picking up just one point from their first five Premier League games.
The club understand the fans’ deep frustration after the sickening loss last time out to Bournemouth, when Everton led 2-0 with just three minutes of normal time remaining at Goodison Park. They know supporters are desperate to see more progress on the pitch after being sucked into the relegation quagmire for the last three seasons.
