Sean Dyche will take charge of his first game as Everton manager on Saturday when his struggling side travel to London to face Premier League leaders Arsenal.
The Toffees have been dragged into another relegation scrap and opted to part ways with previous boss Frank Lampard, who had led them to safety in the 2021/22 season.
Dyche arrives at Goodison Park with an established style of play and ethos, having spent many campaigns in the top flight with Burnley. The Clarets became a bogey side for a number of Premier League teams and Dyche will be aiming to channel that into this current Everton lineup.
Assignments don’t get much tougher than battling the top ranked team in the division, but here’s the side Dyche may field with the hope of claiming three precious points at the Emirates.
GK: Jordan Pickford
England number one Jordan Pickford made some remarkable saves towards the back end of the 2021/22 season to earn Everton some precious points and he’ll need to do similar in the coming months.
Pickford has only three clean sheets in the Premier League this campaign but will hope that number can rise quickly with the arrival of defensive master Dyche.
RB: Seamus Coleman
His days as a marauding and attacking full back are firmly behind him, but there’s no doubt Toffees captain Seamus Coleman has the steel required to play in a Dyche defence.
The Republic of Ireland international has been an incredible servant to the Goodison Park faithful since arriving in 2009 and his stature would only grow if he can help the club avoid relegation.
CB: James Tarkowski
Tarkowski alongside his teammates has been responsible for some horror-show defending at the back but he will almost certainly improve following the arrival of his old manager.
The 30-year-old made two England appearances in 2018 but hasn’t featured since owing to Burnley and Everton’s more recent struggles.
CB: Conor Coady
There may well come a time when Michael Keane is fit and Dyche elects to partner him alongside Tarkowski, a tried and tested partnership at Burnley.
However, Keane is still edging his way back to full fitness and Coady has the leadership skills required to lead Everton out of the mess they find themselves in.
LB: Vitalii Mykolenko
