Former Tottenham defender Sebastien Bassong has told Everton "now the real work starts" ahead of Leeds United's trip to Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Toffees lost 2-0 in the Merseyside derby at Anfield, as goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo either side of half-time left Sean Dyche's team in the relegation zone. Everton sit one point below Leeds in the Premier League table and the pressure is growing on both sides to start building some momentum in their bid to avoid the drop.
A win for either side in this weekend's game can act as a catalyst to kick-start a run of games to put some breathing space between them and the teams at the bottom of the table. Leeds are without a top-flight win since November and may have been alarmed by Everton's 1-0 win over Arsenal in Dyche's first game in charge.
