Offensively, Everton have been underwhelming at best with only Sheffield United scoring less goals than the Toffees this season

On the other hand, their defensive record has been exceptional, as shown on Saturday's Match of the Day episode.

Pundit Alan Shearer said: "With all of the uncertainty, with the new stadium and the new ownership, the way Sean Dyche has managed that situation has been incredible. He's doing an unbelievable job.

"They've only scored 37 goals, but defensively, they are very tough and mean. They don't give much away. What a job Sean Dyche has done."
