Joe Thomas takes a closer look at some of the big decisions facing Everton manager Sean Dyche this week
Everton return to action next weekend with Brentford set to visit Goodison Park on Saturday. Idrissa Gueye finished off his stunning week in April with the goal that secured three points - and Everton's Premier League survival - in this fixture last season. It ended an incredible six days in L4 during which Gueye also scored in the important win over Nottingham Forest that was followed, days later, by the emphatic Merseyside derby victory that the central midfielder was crucial to.
His presence improves Everton but the club now faces a tricky call as it attempts to gauge the best time for his next comeback. Consider an ongoing question that could have long-term implications Ashley Young has found impressive form over recent weeks, including in the less familiar right back role that he had to take up due to injuries in the Blues' backline. An inauspicious start saw him sent off against Brighton on the first day of the season as he struggled on the right of the defence.
