The images show the Toffees determined to train in the midst of a blizzard, like most Premier League clubs who have been forced to live through poor weather conditions in recent days.

Unlike others, Everton players took to the pitch without wool hats or neck warmers to protect themselves from the cold. The reason for this choice can be found in the strict rules that Dyche dictates from the day he arrives.
