Sean Dyche says the Muslim players in his Everton squad will be 'supported' when observing their Ramadan fast during this Saturday's game with Manchester United.
Abdoulaye Doucoure, Amadou Onana and Idrissa Gueye broke their fast in the 26th minute of Monday night's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur by taking on energy supplements during an arranged stoppage in play.
But with fasting required from sunrise to sunset, this Saturday's visit to Old Trafford, a 12.30pm kick-off, will present a different challenge.
Midfielder Doucoure will be suspended for the game after his red card against Spurs.
Toffees boss Dyche said there will be no pressure Onana and Gueye to compromise on their religious obligations.
He said: 'They've got the support necessary. They know how to conduct themselves.
'So I spoke to them about it, they're quite happy with how they deal with what their culture suggests they did too, and they've done it very well so far.'
Pauses in play shortly after sunset so Muslim players can take food and drink on board have been a feature of Premier League and EFL matches since Ramadan started on March 22.
The BBC reported there are 253 Muslim players in the first teams and academies of the top four tiers of the English game and they're required to juggle training and matches with the obligations of the Islamic holy month.
Ramadan starts about 10 days earlier each year, meaning it will coincide with the football season for several years to come.
Doucoure has previously spoken about this, telling the BBC: 'I always love Ramadan. Sometimes playing football has been hard because Ramadan has been in the summer and during pre-season.
'But I have always been lucky to practise Ramadan and there have never been problems with my physical condition - I am grateful for that.
'My religion is the most important thing in my life - I put my religion first, then comes my work. You can do both together and I am happy with that.
'You get so much free time so I am always able to go to the mosque and pray and to enjoy my religion when I'm at home.'
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah refused to drink from a water bottle after being substituted in their 4-1 defeat to Manchester City - which was last Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
