Everton boss Sean Dyche sees Monday's clash at Chelsea as a new start for his team.

The Blues face Chelsea after being hit with a new two points penalty from the Premier League.

Dyche said: "The front-foot feel is an old adage but a fair one. Last time we got a knock, everyone pulled together for the club and that's what we've got to remind ourselves.

"The fans are terrific, they rallied around us and it was a reminder that the badge is more important than anything and we all still feel the same. Myself, the players, the staff, the fans - we are all pulling together to look after each other and our club.

"Chelsea is our restart. We're reacting to the news, that's important but it has to be a positive reaction, get on the front foot and react to the challenge in front of us. We did that last time, we changed the story after a tough run and we've got to build on that.

"The time for fault and blame is gone. Society now wants fault and blame for everything now but we've got to park it. What's done is done. We've got to stay in line, stay connected and we've taken a few knocks, but we've got to pull together.

"I've never made an excuse since I've been here, never will do, but when our fans travel and get behind us, we'll be working towards that goal together."
