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 9, winning 3, drawing 4 and losing 2, with 9 scored and 9 conceded. At home they are 2-1-1; away from home 1-3-1.
Unusually, they have travelled better — unbeaten in 80% away versus 75% at home — so don't discount them on the road.
Recent form reads W-D-L-L-W (oldest first), meaning they have come through 60% of their last 5 matches without losing.
