The manager and the style of play
Manager
David Moyes
In charge since January 2025
Pragmatic and safety-first. Moyes organises a deep 4-4-1-1 block, defends set pieces well and attacks them better, and uses physical strikers as a direct outlet.
Moyes returned mid-2024/25 to steer Everton clear of relegation and delivered a comfortable mid-table finish last season.

Are Everton FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (13th), 2024/25 (13th), 2023/24 (12th) — Everton FC avoided defeat in 62% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 6, winning 2, drawing 4 and losing 0, with 8 scored and 5 conceded. At home they are 2-1-0; away from home 0-3-0.
Home and away they are equally hard to beat so far this season.
Recent form reads D-D-D-W-D (oldest first), meaning they have come through 100% of their last 5 matches without losing.
