Everton have sacked manager Sean Dyche after a run of just one win from their last 11 games, leaving them a point above the Premier League relegation zone.
Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman are set to take charge of the FA Cup clash against Peterborough on Thursday evening.
The Toffees sit 16th in the Premier League and did not register a shot on target during Saturday’s 1-0 loss at Bournemouth – their eighth league defeat of the season and they have failed to score in eight of their last 10 games.
Dyche was appointed Everton boss in January 2023, steering the club to Premier League survival with a final-day victory over the Cherries.
The 53-year-old then kept Everton in the top flight last season, despite the team having eight points deducted from their total because of two separate breaches of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
