Everton boss Sean Dyche says the focus must be on football tonight in their FA Cup Third Round replay against Crystal Palace.

Everton go into the tie having been charged a second time for breaching the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability laws.

But Dyche said: “The job in hand is still to win football matches.

“It doesn't solve everything, but it doesn't half help when you get that right. I think I have never lost sight of that. Even on smaller points than the ones we are talking about, when people talk about brands of football, I have only ever said that I want to win - I want to play effective football that can win.

“My insistence is on myself, the staff and the players to stay focused on the job in hand, which hasn't changed at all. Can we improve? Can we get better? Can we get stronger? Can we develop the players further? I think there are signs of all of that.

“We stay focused. I think we've done a good job of doing that and the players deserve a lot of credit so far because they have stayed focused. I think the on-pitch situation has remained strong. I think the performances have remained strong. [We had] a really great run of performances that got wins, and a good run of performances that didn't, but that's sometimes the Premier League.

“We've continued that process under some testing, challenging times, but they are still there. So, therefore, kind of weirdly, it's becoming a norm, which is not a norm I was hoping for, but these are the circumstances. The players have to get on with it and so have I."
