Dyche Reveals Merseyside Derby Team News

Sean Dyche says Dominic Calvert-Lewin is "touch and go, at best" for Everton's clash with Liverpool at Anfield on Monday night (8pm GMT). 

The striker was withdrawn just after the hour mark during the Blues' excellent 1-0 win over league leaders Arsenal last weekend, with manager Dyche later revealing it was a precautionary move following a hamstring concern.

The 25-year-old has been absent from training so far this week ahead of the 242nd Merseyside derby.

"We're still monitoring him," said Dyche in his pre-match press conference. "It will be touch and go, at best, I would think. We're hoping it settles down as quickly as possible."

The Toffees have been handed a double fitness boost heading into the local showdown, though, with James Garner and Ben Godfrey back in full training after recovering from back and knee injuries respectively.

Nathan Patterson, meanwhile, is back on the grass completing individual work as his rehabilitation from a medial knee problem steps up.

Andros Townsend (ACL) remains unavailable.
