Sean Dyche will mark rather than celebrate his first Everton anniversary with a trip to Fulham on Tuesday, aware of the short shelf life of managers at Goodison Park.
Dyche has battled financial restrictions, ownership unrest and a points deduction during his spell, escaping relegation on the final day of last season.
His two predecessors Frank Lampard and Rafa Benitez failed to last 12 months and not since Roberto Martinez was sacked in 2017, has any manager reached two years in post.
Everton travel to Craven Cottage on a run of one win in eight and were booed off after losing at home to Luton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
