Sean Dyche takes charge of his first Everton game on Saturday afternoon as the Toffees host Premier League leaders Arsenal at Goodison Park.

The former Burnley manager was named as Frank Lampard's successor earlier this week and the Everton hierarchy will be hoping Dyche can turn their fortunes around.

Everton are 19th in the Premier League and they're only ahead of Southampton on goal difference. However, a win in Dyche's first game would see them move up to 17th and out of the relegation zone.

However, Everton have the toughest task on Saturday as Arsenal come to Goodison Park.

Mikel Arteta's men have been dominant this season, with the Gunners holding a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League, as well as having a game in hand.

Arsenal also bolstered their squad for the second half of the season, with Jorginho, Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior all joining. Everton, meanwhile, failed to bring in fresh faces despite selling Anthony Gordon to Newcastle.
