Everton press conference LIVE - injury news, takeover and Manchester United updates

Sean Dyche speaks to the media at Finch Farm

Sean Dyche speaks to the media at Finch Farm

Sean Dyche will face the media on Thursday afternoon ahead of Everton’s game with Manchester United.

The Blues travel to Old Trafford on Sunday on a run that is splitting opinion. Key figures inside the club - including Dyche - are keen to point to a streak that has included just one defeat in eight Premier League matches.

That set of results has included only two wins, however, and missed opportunities in key games - including against the 10 men of Brentford last weekend.

Top of the agenda ahead of the next game will be fitness updates, with club captain Seamus Coleman having returned to training following a hamstring issue and Armando Broja making his first start for the Under-21s this week as he builds towards the senior squad. Tim Iroegbunam, James Garner and Youssef Chermiti are longer term absences, though Chermiti is also closing on the U21s as part of his rehabilitation.

Another key topic will be the December fixture list, which looks a tough one for Everton. After Man Utd, Wolverhampton Wanderers visit L4 before a run that includes Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.

The ECHO will have all the latest from the broadcast section of the press conference before entering the closed section, when Blues correspondent Joe Thomas is among those who will be asking the questions.
