Sean Dyche is back in front of the media today as Everton prepare for another game during the busy Christmas period. The Toffees travel to crisis-hit Manchester City on Boxing Day.
Dyche has masterminded a return to form for Everton with the Toffees taking a point from title contenders Arsenal and Chelsea, respectively, after a pair of 0-0 draws. That followed an impressive 4-0 win over Wolves at Goodison Park.
Meanwhile, the club has completed its long-awaited takeover, with The Friedkin Group rubber stamping their buyout of Everton last week to mark a new era at Everton.
Dyche is sure to be quizzed on the takeover after talks with new executive chairman Marc Watts this weekend, with transfers also likely to be on the agenda ahead of the January window, which opens in just over a week.
There will also be the latest team news and injury updates ahead of the trip to the Etihad to face Pep Guardiola's embattled City side.
Joe Thomas is at Finch Farm to bring you live updates and colour.

That was a good point for Everton yesterday against a Chelsea side that had won their last eight matches.
While it is still fresh in the memory, here is a link to [my report from Goodison Park](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/what-cole-palmer-10-minutes-30641220).

Hello everyone, Joe Thomas here at Finch Farm for one last dance with Sean Dyche before Christmas. This press conference is, of course, for post-Christmas and the Boxing Day trip to Manchester City.
It was only last night that we were with Sean after that very useful point against Chelsea, but we'll still have plenty to talk about. Dwight McNeil and Ashley Young injury updates will be useful, and it will be interesting to hear Dyche's thoughts on whether City represent a different challenge right now.
