SEAN DYCHE could hardly have asked for a tougher first assignment as Everton boss with Premier League leaders Arsenal the visitors to Goodison Park.
The former Burnley boss faces a daunting task saving the Toffees from the drop after inheriting a squad low and quality and confidence from Frank Lampard.
And his job became even more difficult when the under-fire Goodison board failed to add any players on deadline day, much to the fury of fans already upset at another shambles of a season.
Only goal difference is keeping Everton above rock-bottom Southampton and things are likely to get worse before they get better with this clash followed by a derby at Anfield.
Arsenal are unlikely to show Dyche any mercy as they hunt a shock title triumph, with this early kick-off giving them the chance to restore an eight-point lead over Manchester City at the summit.
