David Moyes' return to Everton, 11 years after his initial departure, was met with skepticism. At the time, the club was struggling financially and was on the brink of relegation. However, under Moyes' guidance, the team has undergone a transformation, and European football is now a realistic goal.
A win against Liverpool on Sunday would bring Everton within two points of a Champions League spot. Since Moyes' return, the team has performed exceptionally well away from home, with only Arsenal and Manchester City accumulating more points on the road. This turnaround is largely due to Moyes' ability to make his team tough to beat, particularly in big stadiums. Despite their impressive away form, Everton's home performances have been underwhelming, with only six Premier League wins at their new stadium.
The team's style of play differs significantly between home and away games, with more direct and efficient play on the road. To achieve their European ambitions, Moyes and Everton must adapt their home form to mirror their away performances, starting with the upcoming derby against Liverpool.
