MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Life as Everton coach could not have got off to a better start for Sean Dyche but all eyes will be on Anfield in the latest round of Premier League fixtures as Liverpool host their Merseyside rivals looking to bring them back down to earth.
Hoping to build on their 1-0 victory over league leaders Arsenal last weekend on Dyche's first outing in the Everton hotseat, it does not get easier for the new boss with Liverpool up next.
Liverpool's recent form has been woeful. The Reds are winless in four league games in 2023, netting just one goal so far. Only once in the Premier League era have they had a longer winless run at the start of a calendar year. "Arsenal was a platform for the players to see the expectation, no matter who you are. No matter what style of player you are," Dyche told Everton TV this week.
Such a task will not be easy. Arsenal have lost their last two games in all competitions, as many as they had in their previous 21. England international Jadon Sancho was back among the goals for the first time since September to help salvage his side a point that keeps them third in the standings, seven points behind Arsenal but having played two games more.
