Next Everton Manager Odds: David Moyes Favourite For Goodison Return
Everton have been involved in a relegation battle in each of the last three seasons, and after losing their opening three games, another fight to stay up looks on the cards.
With just three minutes to play against Bournemouth, the Toffees led 2-1. But two late goals from the visitors stunned Goodison Park to take the three points back to the Vitality Stadium.
At the end of the season the club will leave Goodison Park, which has been their home since 1892, and relegation to the Championship would be a PR disaster ahead of moving to their new Bramley-Moor Dock stadium next August.
At this early stage of the season, the pressure is already on Sean Dyche to keep his job.
We look at some of the candidates lined up to replace Dyche if Everton decide to make a change and their odds on football betting sites.

Could Moyes Return For Second Spell?
David Moyes is the current favourite to make a sensational return to Goodison Park.
Few managers know the club better than Moyes, who took charge of 518 games for the Toffees between March 2002 and April 2014.
Moyes left West Ham at the end of last season, but not before he led the Hammers to their first trophy in 43 years, when his side beat Fiorentina to win the 2023 Europa Conference League.
Moyes is 7/4 favourite on the best betting sites to replace Dyche, if Everton decide to change their manager.
Potter To Answer Everton's Call?
Graham Potter is waiting on the right job before returning to football management.
Potter's last job was at Stamford Bridge but his spell in charge of the Blues wasn't great, winning just 12 of his 31 games in charge.
Before his move to Chelsea, Potter was hailed as the next big thing in football management after the success he enjoyed at Swansea and Brighton.
It's been almost 18 months since Potter's last appearance in the dugout, and a call from Everton might be enough to get him back on the sidelines.

Benitez Is Also Available For Goodison Return
Rafael Benitez is another manager who knows Everton very well. The Spaniard was in charge of the Toffees between June 2021 and January 2022.
Benitez, who led Liverpool to Champions League glory in 2005, struggled to have the same impact at Goodison Park as he did at Anfield.
So Everton supporters refused to support the manager due to his links with their neighbours.
Benitez is 7/2 to be Everton's next permanent manager, which has a 22.2% probability.
Farke Next To Leave Leeds?
This summer has seen a mass exodus of players from Leeds United, and their manager could be next to leave Elland Road.
Daniel Farke was prepared to lose some of his star players after they lost last season's Championship playoff final to Southampton and he has seen Archie Gray, Cysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter depart.
Farke (4/1) now finds himself in a tricky position where fans expect promotion back to the Premier League, even though his squad is considerably weaker than last term.
If the right job became available, Farke may find himself weighing up the pros and cons of staying at Leeds or taking a job like Everton.
Could Carlos Resist The Lure Of Managing The Toffees?
Every manager wants to manage in the Premier League and that applies to West Brom manager Carlos Corberan.
Baggies fans will hope he becomes a top flight manager with their club, and after a solid start with 10 points on the board from a possible 12, promotion hopes are high at the Hawthorns.
Chances to manage in the Premier League don't come along too often and if Everton were to call him, Corberan (5/1) might find it hard to say no.
Sergio Might Make Goodison His New Home
Sergio Conceicao is 6/1 on new betting sites to be Sean Dyche's replacement at Goodison Park, if the club make a managerial change early in the season.
The Portuguese was last in charge at Porto, who finished third last season. Conceicao signed a new contract to stay at the club until 2028, but decided to leave on June 30.
Is the time right for Conceicao to move to the Premier League and try to emulate the success of fellow Portuguese Jose Mourinho.
Could Ferguson Fit The Bill?
Duncan Ferguson is Mr Everton, having served the club with distinction as a player and in a smaller capacity, as a manager.
Ferguson was twice given the interim role at Goodison Park following the departures of Marco Silva and Rafa Bentiez.
For the five games Ferguson was in charge of the Toffees, they lost just once. Since then, he had a spell at Forest Green and is currently managing Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish League One.
Ferguson (18/1) remains a fans favourite and his passion might be what Everton need right now.
Others in the conversation include Luton's Rob Edwards (8/1), Edin Terzin (10/1), Stefano Pioli (12/1) and Brendan Rodgers (14/1).
