Follow all the action from Goodison Park after Sean Dyche’s sacking

Everton take on Peterborough United in the FA Cup just hours after the sacking of Sean Dyche at Goodison Park.

Dyche’s departure was confirmed on Thursday afternoon ahead of the third round tie, with Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman placed in interim charge as speculation builds over possible replacements for the manager. David Moyes, who led the club so successfully between 2002 and 2013, has been connected with a sensational return, while a mooted move for Jose Mourinho appears unlikely.

Tonight, though, the focus will be on the pitch as the Premier League club embark on their cup campaign. This season marks the 144th edition of the world’s oldest cup competition, with Manchester United the reigning champions after they beat local rivals Manchester City in the final at Wembley. Peterborough overcame Notts County in a seven-goal thriller to reach this stage and will hope to cause more turmoil on Merseyside.
