Incoming Everton boss Sean Dyche has previously confessed he has a "soft spot for Liverpool".
The former Burnley boss has been out of a job for nine months since leaving Burnley, but is returning to management at Goodison Park. The Toffees axed Frank Lampard earlier this week with the Merseysiders sat in the relegation zone following their recent defeat to West Ham.
Dyche has a proven record in the Premier League after a decade at Turf Moor, which was a major draw for the Everton hierarchy as they pondered whether to pursue him or former Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa. However the 51-year-old will hardly have endeared himself to the blue half of the city with an old confession.
