Everton return to Premier League action this weekend against a Tottenham Hotspur side who find themselves manager-less after the sacking of Antonio Conte.
The Italian’s outburst against his players and the club’s owners after watching his side capitulate to draw 3-3 at struggling Southampton before the international break ultimately cost him his job.
With Conte dismissed the club have confirmed Cristian Stellini will be their acting head coach for the remainder of the season, with Ryan Mason his assistant.
They will travel to Merseyside to face Sean Dyche’s side next who are fresh off-the-back of a 2-2 draw against Chelsea last time out and they will return to the city for a league game against Liverpool at the end of April.
Ellis Simms’ late goal earned a crucial point and it means the Toffees sit 15th in a tightly-contested relegation battle.
With all the talk in recent days surrounding the London club’s next managerial appointment, we’ve decided to look at the odds [Oddschecker] for the next permanent Tottenham manager.
9. Marco Silva - 25/1
Silva has plenty of Premier League experience across his time at Watford and Everton and his Fulham side have enjoyed a brilliant season so far. His ability to build a strong side would be a selling point and he would surely take the step up to Spurs if given the chance. | AFP via Getty Images
10. Roberto De Zerbi - 25/1
The Brighton manager has built on the foundations of Graham Potter and his side are gunning for the top-four after an extraordinary season.

11. Michael Carrick - 25/1
Having enjoyed an incredible run at Middlesborough, Carrick’s first full-time role as a manager could see him earn promotion. But it’s clear his managerial talent is being eyed by Premier League clubs and he could be the next former player to earn a job in the top-flight. | Getty Images
12. Ryan Mason - 40/1
Former player Mason has taken charge of the club in an interim role in the past and will remain as the assistant manager until the end of the season following Conte’s dismissal. | Getty Images
