'I don’t stare at the league' - Sean Dyche explains his view on table and Everton fixture schedule

Sean Dyche has played down the significance of Everton playing before or after their relegation rivals ahead of their trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Blues go first this weekend with their game at Molineux a 3pm kick-off on Saturday while Nottingham Forest host Arsenal at 5:30pm that same evening. Leeds United go to West Ham United at 1:30pm on Sunday before Leicester City travel to Newcastle United at 8pm on Monday.

If Everton were to win and other results went their way, they could theoretically secure their Premier League status for another year before their final game of the season at home to Bournemouth on Sunday May 28 but Dyche is unconcerned over running orders. He said: “It’s the way the fixtures are thrown about by the Premier League, that’s the way it goes with Sky and the TV. It’s fair to say, I think there’s a balance view that everyone in the Premier League wants the money that comes in from the TV rights, therefore if they change the schedule, that’s the way it goes, you just have to go with it, that’s it.
