Marco Silva expected to be in charge for Merseyside Derby as Everton confirm press conference

Marco Silva is expected to be in charge when Everton take on Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday.

The Blues boss is under increasing pressure after a disappointing run of results have left his side teetering above the relegation zone, currently finding themselves in 17th and two points ahead of Southampton in the Premier League table.

On Sunday, Everton fell to another defeat this time at the hands of Leicester City, with goals from Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho cancelling out Richarlison's opener to confirm a 2-1 victory for the Foxes.

This match came following home supporters joining in chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning" at Goodison Park as the Blues fell to a 2-0 defeat to Norwich last month.

However, after Marcel Brands urged unity in a statement released on Friday, Everton are still putting faith in their boss.

Silva is expected to be on the touchline when his side contest the Merseyside Derby at Anfield on Wednesday, with the Blues confirming he will host a pre-match press conference at Finch Farm on Tuesday.

The media will gather at 1:30pm to question the manager.
