Manager Sean Dyche was open and honest with the situation in front of him at Everton.

Injuries and suspensions means he only has 14 first-team players to call upon, while there is little money in the bank to bring in new recruits.

It is understood any further incomings between now and the end of the transfer window next Friday would only likely be loan deals.

After a miserable start to the season last weekend, losing 3-0 at home to Brighton, the Toffees travel to Tottenham on Saturday knowing they need a positive result to kickstart the campaign.

While Everton have an outlay of around £40m on new signings this summer, Spurs have been splashing the cash with around £126m on acquisitions - £60m of it going on striker Dominic Solanke alone.

"They are all big games, every game is a big one since I have been here," said Dyche.

"People always laugh at me for saying that but it is, this is Everton Football Club - the rules and reasons all go out of the window, I have learnt that.

"It is about winning, taking on the next challenge, reacting and the storyline changes very quickly here.

"We have to correct it, we go down to a very strong Tottenham side that has invested heavily and they had a good season last season."
