Everton boss Dyche ready for Liverpool - but the tracksuit?

Everton boss Sean Dyche is looking forward to his first home derby against Liverpool.

The Reds go to Goodison Park tomorrow night.

Dyche said: "I'm well aware of the records that people have been telling me. I'm looking forward to the game.

"I didn't grow up here so I don't have the depth of understanding [of the rivalry] but what I do understand is how important it is to be Everton's manager in all games, but particularly this one for the obvious reasons.

On Jurgen Klopp's last Merseyside derby, he stated: "Aside from being Everton's manager, massive respect for what he's done here and his other clubs. It's not easy to build things, and he's done it at three clubs. Massive respect for that."

On his lucky tracksuit, which he wore for victory over Nottingham Forest, Dyche added: "I didn't realise how much noise was going to come from that. It wasn't a major decision in my life, I've got lots of decisions to make here that are far more important than that.

"[I've had] a bit of banter from the players, ex-players and my daughter. I'm not too worried about that. I'll decide what I wear tomorrow."
