(Reuters) - There is no guarantee Everton will win their appeal against a 10-point deduction in the Premier League but manager Sean Dyche said one thing the fans can count on is his players showing the right mentality and doing the hard yards in every game.

The sanction for breaching the league's profitability and sustainability rules dropped Everton into the bottom three but back-to-back wins over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United have lifted them out of the drop zone.
