David Moyes' return to Everton 11 years after his initial departure was met with skepticism. However, he has transformed the team, and they now find themselves in the running for a European spot. The Toffees were struggling financially and were on the verge of relegation when Moyes took over, but he has turned their fortunes around.
A win against Liverpool on Sunday would leave them just two points shy of a Champions League spot. Since Moyes' return, Everton has been one of the best-performing teams away from home, with only Arsenal and Manchester City accumulating more points on the road. Their away form has been a significant factor in their European push, but they need to improve their home form to sustain their challenge. The team's direct approach while playing away has been effective, but they have struggled at home, where they have more possession and are more susceptible to conceding goals.
Moyes will be looking to address this issue, starting with the upcoming derby against Liverpool, as they aim to bring European football back to Merseyside.
