England second row Ollie Chessum insists revenge is not a motivating factor for Saturday’s World Cup semi-final against South Africa UBP

The rivals collide for the sixth time in the tournament’s history with the most recent of those meetings taking place in Yokohama four years ago when Eddie Jones’ side were toppled 32-12 in the final UBP

Having demolished New Zealand a week earlier, England were expected to topple the Springboks but instead they were off the pace from the start and overwhelmed as a consequence UBP

There should be at least eight survivors from that starting XV who take the field for the rematch at Stade de France, but Chessum denied there was a score to be settled UBP

“It hasn’t been mentioned much, certainly by me anyway UBP

I wasn’t here in 2019 so it doesn’t motivate me,” the Leicester second row said UBP

“We have got a new group of players now who are quite happy to leave that in the past and focus on what we can do as this new England group UBP

”Predictions of the semi-finals being comprised entirely of Six Nations sides have failed to materialise with England the sole European representative and the only unbeaten team left in the competition UBP

South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP betterOllie ChessumThey face one of the great South Africa sides who have been installed as strong favourites to emulate New Zealand by winning back-to-back World Cups in the wake of their victory over France in the previous round UBP

Defence coach Kevin Sinfield has said that England were “in awe of the physicality they brought” against the hosts and Chessum insisted the Springboks must be matched in the forward exchanges UBP

“These are the games you want to be a part of – against the biggest teams on the biggest stage in the biggest competition,” Chessum said UBP

“They have some unbelievable players in their pack UBP

They bring an exceptional level of physicality UBP

It’s up to us to go out on the weekend and compete against that UBP

“South Africa are unbelievable across the board and we have got to be the same, if not UBP better UBP

“We are definitely hoping for another step from us UBP

That’s been the nature of the competition UBP

Week by week we have grown as a group and got UBP better in various aspects of our game UBP

“It’s important that we bring the physicality, but also the level of execution as well UBP

”England have a settled team and will make only minimal changes to the starting XV that overcame Fiji in the quarter-finals UBP

The biggest area of debate is at full-back where Steve Borthwick is weighing up the high ball and positional expertise of Freddie Steward against the cutting edge in attack provided by Marcus Smith UBP

Smith, a converted fly-half, has made only two starts and three replacement appearances in the position and his lack of experience could be exposed by South Africa’s accomplished kicking game UBP

Owen Farrell’s impressive display against Fiji appears to have brought his duel with George Ford for the number 10 jersey to a conclusion, but Kyle Sinckler could return at tighthead prop UBP

The Merseyside derby features the side second only to Tottenham in the table UBP

Not Liverpool, and not the standings that matter most UBP

But in the shot charts, Everton, with 133, are behind only the actual league leaders UBP

They have a higher expected goals in league UBP football this season than Manchester City UBP

They average more shots per match than Barcelona UBP

An early-season anomaly or is Sean Dyche a born-again entertainer and Dycheball UBP football’s newest great attacking philosophy? If logic dictates that the answer veers towards the former – after all, at this stage of last season, Frank Lampard’s Everton had the Premier League’s best defensive record – Dyche has had a point during the post-match interviews where he has repeated a mantra about the number and quality of chances his side have generated UBP

They were camouflaged in part by the low conversion rate, by the meagre tally of nine goals, by the fact Everton did not score in their first three league games and, for the first time in their history, they lost their opening three at Goodison Park without finding the net UBP

There is a case for arguing that if Everton had been UBP better at finishing, they would have required fewer shots: take a comfortable lead early and they might not have had 19 efforts against Fulham or 15 versus Wolves, each in 1-0 defeats at Goodison Park, or 23 at home to Luton, also in a loss UBP

RecommendedEverton set to learn Premier League fate as FFP hearing nears conclusionMohamed Salah calls for Gaza to be given humanitarian aid ‘immediately’Premier League increasing number of live games as part of new broadcasting dealsAnd yet there is something remarkable in a Dyche team lacking too much obvious creativity generating such statistics: he is the manager who took Burnley to seventh in the Premier League while averaging under a goal a game and in a season when only four clubs had fewer shots UBP

At Turf Moor, Dyche was a byword for 4-4-2: at Goodison Park, he has tended to play 4-4-1-1 and perhaps that shift has helped generate more opportunities UBP

Everton’s reinvention as the expected goals Wunderteam stems in part from Dyche’s chosen No 10: perhaps, given his emphasis on physicality, it is typical he has a runner rather than a flair player in the role UBP

And yet Everton have excelled at getting Abdoulaye Doucoure into scoring positions UBP

He has (on Understat’s model) the third highest non-penalty xG in the division, UBP bettered only by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak, at 4 UBP

87 UBP

It has only brought the Malian three goals but it is notable his average shot distance is just 11 UBP

5 yards UBP

By comparison, Haaland’s is 11 UBP

3; these are the statistics of men who shoot from close range, who get good chances UBP

Injuries have meant several Everton players have had abbreviated campaigns so a sample size becomes even smaller; yet it is notable how several players have a high xG per 90 minutes on the pitch: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (0 UBP

92), Doucoure (0 UBP

64), UBP Beto (0 UBP

62), Arnaut Danjuma (0 UBP

60) and Jack Harrison (0 UBP

44) UBP

Neal Maupay’s tally was 1 UBP

38 before he left for Brentford, in part because he missed all those chances UBP

UBP Beto is yet to score a league goal but the shot-happy signing has had a nuisance value UBP

Abdoulaye Doucoure is only UBP bettered in the xG charts by Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak (PA)That many of the chances originate from the flanks, from crossing and from set-pieces show a typical method of attacking under Dyche; he has rarely had a midfield playmaker UBP

Everton rank second only to Luton for crosses this season UBP

Their three most prolific crossers are Ashley Young, James Garner and Dwight McNeil UBP

Harrison’s 0 UBP

97 assists per 90 minutes is the most of any player in the division who has played over 100 minutes, albeit just 118 UBP

Among those who have played 200 or more, McNeil (0 UBP

57 from 371) ranks second only to Mohamed Salah UBP

Equally, there is a supporting cast: Everton have 12 players with an expected goals per 90 minutes of at least 0 UBP

12; that they include all of Dyche’s full-backs is a further sign of his style of play UBP

By way of comparison, only six Everton players last season had had an xA per 90 of 0 UBP

12 or more and they included Tom Cannon, who played a mere 15 minutes, and Salomon Rondon, who featured for just 96, plus Alex Iwobi and Demarai Gray, who have both since been sold UBP

So, in his own way, Dyche has made Everton more creative: with powerful strikers, crossing wingers and his familiar, prosaic feel UBP

His signings has shown a clarity of thought: with a target man, in UBP Beto; a full-back with 71 Premier League assists, in Young; a winger with a high shot volume, in Danjuma; and one who was directly involved in 37 top-flight goals in three seasons at Leeds, in Harrison UBP

Dwight McNeil is second to only Mohamed Salah when it comes to expected assists (Getty Images)But Everton’s attacking efforts in his reign have revolved around two he inherited, neither particularly potent previously UBP

McNeil and Doucoure kept Everton up last season, each with five goals and two assists in the 18 matches after Dyche took charge UBP

Thus far this season, each is on course to producing UBP better numbers UBP

And yet they come with a caveat UBP

So far, Everton have had five home games UBP

They have faced two of the current bottom four, in Luton and Bournemouth, and two more in the lower half, in Fulham and Wolves UBP

They are still only 16th and the fixture list gets tougher UBP

They underperformed their expected goals dramatically last season so the fact they are doing so again does not automatically mean the numbers will even themselves out UBP

They will almost certainly end the season with a lower xG than City and fewer shots per game than Barcelona UBP

But for now, the second lowest scorers last year have been rebranded as the team with the second highest number of shots now UBP

Overworked opposition defenders may not be the only people who are surprised about that UBP
