Sean Dyche may have sealed his fate as Everton manager ahead of their clash with Leicester City on Saturday (21 September).

The Toffees' defence has been at the centre of criticism, especially now with goals beginning to flow in the final third for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Michael Keane's inclusion to face the Foxes might just be the last straw before Dyche is sacked by Farhad Moshiri, having already been dubbed "absolutely useless" by Simon Jordan this season.

Dyche has made five changes from the side that were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Southampton, with Jordan Pickford, James Garner, James Tarkowski, Ashley Young and Dominic Calvert-Lewin restored to the lineup [X].

Despite the changes, Keane has still somehow kept his spot in defence, even with Jake O'Brien in the squad after a decent display against the Saints, which could spell danger with Dyche under immense pressure [HITC].

The clash at the King Power Stadium has already been dubbed a six-pointer following the Toffees' incredibly poor start to the Premier League campaign, with the Foxes one of the relegation favourites.

Dyche cannot afford to make any mistakes following back-to-back comeback losses against Bournemouth and Aston Villa in the league, though he has remained faithful to Keane.

That could be the decision that ends his time at Goodison Park, with fans becoming irritated with the decision not to play O'Brien alongside Tarkowski amid Jarrad Branthwaite's absence.

The Toffees' match at the King Power Stadium is an absolute must-win. There is no doubt about it, with Dyche's team sitting rock-bottom of the Premier League.
