Sam Allardyce has rejected the suggestion that he may leave Everton when the season concludes.

Given the Merseyside club's indifferent form since he joined, some are suggesting he may move on so the club can find a more suitable manager.

However, Allardyce is committed to Everton for longer than the current season.

"I am here as long as I win football matches, and if you don't win football matches it doesn't matter how long your contract is," he said in his pre-match press conference.

"At the moment we are in a very good position. I am slightly surprised about the situation [speculation] but you can look at the two differences between us: good at home and not good enough away from home."
