Everton look to have finally ended their takeover drama as the Friedkin Group have announced they have an agreement to buy a 94% stake in the club.

James Garner could be set for a spell at right-back after Sean Dyche praised his display in Everton's 1-1 draw at Leicester City. The midfielder was told on the morning of the match that he would be used to patch up a backline stricken by injury.

Everton are facing a crucial call on the future of manager Sean Dyche in the coming weeks. The Toffees remain without a Premier League win, after five games of the 2024/25 season, with just one point on the board.

Graham Potter would be interested in taking over from Sean Dyche if the Everton job became available, according to reports.

"Unfortunately, you come away from a game where you probably should win, with just a point. Normally you would be pleased with a point but, at the moment, we would've loved that win." On the confidence shown by his team: "It is just noise you know? The players are human beings so naturally it does effect you, but the point is that it is just noise.

Sean Dyche has called on his attacking stars to play their role in helping to prevent leads from slipping away from his Everton side. Stephy Mavididi’s second half equaliser prevented the Blues from a vital win over Leicester City and marked the fourth consecutive match in which Everton had failed to turn a lead into a win.

Sean Dyche insists his side took a “positive mini step” after they registered their first Premier League point of the season with a 1-1 draw at Leicester. Iliman Ndiaye netted the opener as Everton went in front for a third successive match and were in position for a first win on the road in 2024.

An "amazing" Champions League manager is believed to be an option to replace Sean Dyche at Everton, should he be sacked in the near future.
