David Unsworth has the support of the dressing room for the manager's job at Everton.

Sky Sports says a significant number of Everton's players, plus their chairman Bill Kenwright, are understood to want the club's U23s manager Unsworth to get the job full time.

Unsworth has today been confirmed in temporary charge for the second time having held the reins in 2016 after the departure of Roberto Martinez.

The 44-year old is highly regarded at Goodison Park and will be in the dugout starting with Wednesday's Carabao Cup match at Chelsea.
