Everton boss Sean Dyche is upbeat on their form going to Manchester City.

Everton have drawn their past three games ahead of facing City on Saturday.

Dyche said: "We haven't found that win but we've been looking solid in our performances. And before that we won four on the trot.

"If you add it all together, it's a healthy points return, and then look at the bigger picture and the 10 points on and then you say, 'well that is a healthy return'.

"It makes news when people chunk these game down, so I know the bigger picture. Clean sheets are a good thing, you've got to take your chances - and we have created chances in amongst those clean sheets, but it is a good marker. If you're defending right as a team and you're working hard, obviously you increase your chances of winning games.

"We're right in every game. There have been a couple that have got away from us this season, but not many, we've been right in every game."
