Chelsea boss Potter: Dyche has made Everton more physical; better off the break

Chelsea boss Graham Potter says Sean Dyche has made Everton a tougher team to play against.

Everton drew 2-2 at Chelsea on Saturday.

Potter told the Liverpool Echo: “I think they use their physicality well. [Amadou] Onana and [Abdoulaye] Doucoure are physical Premier League players. They get the ball forward. They defend deep. And they can also hit you with big space, with pace.

"[Demarai] Gray as a forward is always moving, so he is never in a conventional position.

"Since Sean has gone there the set piece quality has been fantastic so they use [James] Tarkowski well, they use the size of the team well, so they are a tough opponent to play."
