Everton manager DycheL Spurs striker Kane a fantastic fellow

Everton manager Sean Dyche on the challenge of ensuring that his side keep a clean sheet against Tottenham in the Premier League.

The Toffees take on a Spurs side in flux at present, given the departure of coach Antonio Conte.

However, Dyche knows that with England's record goalscorer Harry Kane in the team, keeping them quiet will be tough.

He stated to reporters during a press conference: "Congratulations to him [on breaking the England goals record]. I'm lucky enough to know him a little bit, fantastic fellow that he is - an all-round professional.

"He'll be aware it's not just about him, they've got good players there in general, but of course he's a threat – he has been season after season and even when he gets questioned he certainly shuts down the question pretty quickly with what he does.

"But there's a good team there – I know there's a bit of noise there and varying things going on but at the end of the day they've still got a good group of players there and we've got to be ready for that."
