The Toffees are winless in five matches and 16th in the standings after 19 games, a point above the drop zone.

LIVERPOOL: Relegation-threatened Everton sacked manager Sean Dyche on Thursday, hours before the Premier League club were due to play their FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough at Goodison Park.

Everton are 16th in the standings after 19 games, a point above the drop zone. They have not won a game since beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in early December, a winless run of five matches.

With Dyche’s backroom staff also leaving, Everton said Under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman would take charge of the first team on an interim basis.
