Everton prepare for their second game of the 2023-24 season when they travel to Aston Villa on Sunday.
The Toffees suffered a 1-0 opening-day loss to Fulham at Goodison Park last week. Sean Dyche’s side created plenty of chances to win the game yet lacked the composure required in the final third.
But Everton should take encouragement from the performance although they’ll know more ruthlessness will be paramount.
The striker was managed carefully during pre-season and was omitted against Fulham for being short of fitness. He played against Man Utd in a training game earlier this week and now Dyche must decide if Calvert-Lewin is ready to feature. Potential return: Aston Villa (A), Sun 20 August.
The Blues have some injury issues at this early stage of the campaign. Dyche will give an update when he addresses the media later today but, as things stand, here’s a look at the current situation at Goodison Park.
The on-loan Leeds forward arrived with an issue that kept him out of pre-season. He’ll need some weeks to get up to speed. The international break early next month may help his recovery. Potential return game: Arsenal (H), Sat 16 September.
The winger suffered ligament damage in a pre-season friendly at Stoke. Dyche said that McNeil would be out for ‘weeks’ but was not any clearer. His recovery is likely to be taken day-to-day. Potential return game: Sheffield United (A), Sat 2 September.
Dyche has claimed the winger is short of fitness after representing Jamaica over the summer. There have been some rumours suggesting he has agreed personal terms to join Fulham and did not play against Man Utd behind closed doors. Potential return game: Aston Villa (A), Sun 20 August.
The midfielder hit a setback in his recovery from surgery in April and is still not in contention to feature. Dyche said that Dele is in a good place, however. Potential return game: N/A (Photo: George Wood/Getty Images)

The prime minister is expected to fight the next election on a pledge to keep the pension triple lock despite its spiraling costs, and has been looking at various options to cut back welfare spending as he looks to pave the way for pre-election tax cuts, while also remaining committed to the pensions triple lock at the next election.
