Everton boss Marco Silva admits his players are struggling for confidence.

Everton are enduring a miserable run and they have lost 10 of their last 16 games, including five of their last six, to see their hopes of silverware and Europe fade.

“It's one of the areas where we have to be more consistent, to create more chances to score," said Silva.

“When you're not playing with the same confidence…. and you have to put some creativity in your game, the final decision in attack does not always come.

“It's up to us to work on that and to create more chances to score."
