Toffees have to ‘find a way’ to win

Manager Sean Dyche admits his Everton side need to “find a way” to win sooner rather than later, starting with Saturday’s visit of Crystal Palace (15:00 BST).

Both the Blues and Palace go into the fixture still searching for their first victory in this season’s Premier League and Dyche believes it would be “considerably favourable” if they could claim their first three points against another team yet to win.

“The importance of every game is quite obvious but there are some which you look at and think: ‘That would be considerably favourable to get a win from’,” he said.

“We are at that stage, after a tough start, of finding whatever way it is – whoever it is against – of winning and keep calm about the situation and deliver performances.

“We are still searching for that. I don’t think it is helpful when you haven’t got that edge of a killer instinct in both boxes.

“We’ve done that many times before here, coming through tough periods, and we are still coming out of a tough period but I think there are better signs.”
