Marco Silva is expected to remain in charge of Everton on Monday as pressure mounts on his position as manager following the defeat to Norwich City.

The Blues' hierarchy have remained tight-lipped today as speculation over Silva's future continues to intensify but it is understood he will carry on planning for next weekend's game with Leicester City as normal.

Majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri held talks with chairman Bill Kenwright and the remaining members of the board of directors at Goodison on Saturday evening after the 2-0 loss in front of an angry home support.

Sections of Everton fans joined in with the chants of "You're getting sacked in the morning" that had been started by Norwich supporters after they had scored a second goal in time added on.

Silva is understood to have held talks with Moshiri and Marcel Brands after the game and is believed to have been told he retains support from the top of the club despite the alarming nature of the defeat and the side's lowly league position.

But Everton's power-brokers have remained on lockdown today with no clear message on Silva's future coming out of Goodison and those high-level discussions are likely to continue into the new week.

The Blues squad are on a scheduled day off on Monday but are due to return to Finch Farm on Tuesday to begin preparations for the clash with Leicester at the King Power Stadium.
