The Toffees have won just four Premier League games all season and dropped into the relegation zone on Wednesday night.

Although there is no news yet on a successor it’s believed that David Moyes is one of the favourites to take over.

The Merseysiders have confirmed that former striker Duncan Ferguson will take charge of Saturday’s clash with Chelsea at Goodison Park.
