Everton press conference as it happened - Liverpool highlights, injury news, Sean Dyche updates

Hello and welcome to the Liverpool Echo's live coverage of Sean Dyche's press conference to preview Everton's clash with Brentford.

The Blues boss will likely be in a bouyant mood, as the media briefing takes place less than 24 hours on from his side's 2-0 win over Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.

Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in each half gave the Toffees a night to remember at Goodison Park. Not only did it end a 14-year wait for a home win in the derby, the Blues moved eight points clear of the relegation zone with just four matches to play.

It means Everton could secure safety this weekend despite a cumulative eight-point deduction this season for two breaches of Profit and Sustainability rules.

Brentford themselves have pulled clear of relegation trouble in recent weeks, although Everton could move above them on Saturday evening with a victory.

Joe Thomas will be in attendance at Finch Farm to provide build-up and updates from the manager from 2pm
