Everton have not won their last four Premier League games, and the Toffees are about to face their toughest spell with some huge games coming up.
Sean Dyche is under tremendous pressure at the moment, and tension is brewing at Goodison Park.
The results have been poor, and it feels like Dyche is struggling to inject confidence into the side. Put simply, Everton are lacking fresh ideas.
The Toffees are missing a few players, and the results might improve when Dyche gets them back.
Everton have missed Armando Broja, Youssef Chermiti, Seamus Coleman, James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam through injuries, while Jarrad Branthwaite has been one of the biggest concerns on the injury front as well.
Finally some positive news for Everton fans
The Toffees fans will be pleased to find out that Coleman and Chermiti have returned to first-team training.
Everton have shared their training update on Thursday on their official website, where both Coleman and Chermiti are seen doing training work at Finch Farm.
Coleman has only made a single outing in the Premier League this term, and getting him back ahead of Everton’s clash against Manchester United will be a massive boost.
Preparing for Sunday 💪

He may not be fully fit enough to start against the Red Devils, but Dyche can now build his fitness gradually by giving him minutes from the bench.
Ashley Young is currently operating at right-back, while Nathan Patterson has also returned from injury. So, Dyche can afford to use Coleman wisely.
Everton need more imagination up front
The Toffees will face United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Nottingham Forest in their next few games, and unless they do something different, the situation could become untenable for Dyche.
Everton are one-dimensional and there is hardly any positive approach to their game.
They are not creating enough chances, and the worrying pattern is being repeated in every single game.
There are fears that Dyche might lose his job, and the results from their next few games could be vital in this regard.
