This weekend, Sean Dyche is aiming to lead his team to a major victory. However, they will have to face a tough challenge as they take on Everton, who will be missing three key players for the highly anticipated Merseyside derby on Saturday. In addition, there are concerns about Michael Keane's availability as he deals with a knee injury.
To make things even more intense, this will be the last Merseyside derby to ever be played at Goodison Park. The Toffees will have their work cut out for them as they go up against the Premier League leaders. But Dyche's side is coming off a confidence-boosting 4-0 win over Wolves on Wednesday and they are determined to carry that momentum into their clash with their arch rivals.
During a recent press conference, Dyche provided an update on his squad's condition after their victory over Wolves. He revealed that while there were a few knocks, nothing serious that would keep players out of the upcoming game. However, Keane's status remains uncertain as he continues to recover from a minor knee ligament injury. Meanwhile, Youssef Chermiti, Tim Iroegbunam, and James Garner have all been ruled out, but the manager hopes to have them back in action soon.
On a more positive note, Dyche can count on the services of on-loan striker Armando Broja, who finally made his debut for the club as a substitute in the game against Wolves. Although he is not fully match fit yet, Broja is expected to be part of the squad for the upcoming game.
When asked about Broja's potential impact, Dyche expressed his excitement at finally being able to see him play after only having him in training for a couple of weeks. The Chelsea loanee has shown great dedication in getting fit and the manager was impressed by his performance in the game against Wolves. Dyche also sees Broja as a valuable addition to the team, providing internal competition and pushing other players to perform at their best. He hopes this will motivate not only Broja, but the entire team to deliver a strong performance in the upcoming derby.
