Number Nines
With just 180 minutes of football left to avoid what would be their first relegation in 72 years, Everton are again sweating on the fitness of their number nine, Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Manager Sean Dyche stated afterwards that he himself had taken the decision to take off his centre-forward at half-time as a precaution because of a “tight groin” so Blues will be praying that the player is now fit enough to play against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth. Although the 26-year-old has yet to score from open play since his return to fitness at Crystal Palace on April 22, the extra dimension he brings to Everton’s attack is palpable and they look a far more potent outfit with him in the side.
