Everton manager Sean Dyche has joked that he may take his strikers down to the pub on Saturday night to prepare for Sunday’s crucial relegation showdown with Nottingham Forest.
The Toffees manager still has huge problems up front, with his first-choice centre forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin - who has a hamstring injury that has already sidelined him for a month - set to miss the visit to Forest.
And in considering whether to play his young forward Ellis Simms - who has just two Premier League starts to his name - former Forest youth player Dyche was reminded of the rather unconventional debut Brian Clough gave to Roy Keane at his former club.
