Everton’s season hasn’t been one full of joy as they have found themselves near the wrong end of the table for the second consecutive season.
But in the last month they have shown their mettle, at a time when it is needed most, as they scrap with their rivals in a tense Premier League relegation battle which looks too close to call.
Sean Dyche has transformed Everton’s fortunes since he joined the club in February with a change of mentality being evident as his side lost just one game in March, even snatching a late draw at Stamford Bridge when Ellis Simms slotted the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga for his first goal for the Blues.
