Premier League: Things to look out for this weekend

Dyche back to square one before Spurs test

On Tuesday, Everton fell into the relegation zone, commemorating one year since Sean Dyche’s hiring. The unsettling situation belies the undeniable progress the Everton manager has overseen since taking over for Frank Lampard. However, his team desperately needs to find the spark again after losing 2-1 to Ange Postecoglou’s team just before Christmas before demanding matches against Tottenham and Manchester City. Everton’s struggles with injuries and the limited number of trustworthy first-team players they have on hand have caught up with them. They have lost both of their cup home games and have not won in five Premier League games. competitions since obtaining three points on December 16 at Burnley. 12 months ago, Dyche’s tenure began with a resounding 1-0 home victory against North London rivals, defeating title-chasing Arsenal. Relegation is back on the table after the club’s appeal against a 10-point deduction for financial rule violations was denied and contained no promises. Andy Hunter
