Moyes urges Everton players to seize scoring chances ahead of Liverpool clash


"Toffees" Everton will go to Anfield to play a Merseyside derby with Liverpool in the new round of the Premier League, and Moyes said that facing the strong Liverpool, his team must seize any scoring opportunities.


Everton drew 0-0 with Aston Villa at home in the last round of the Premier League. After achieving 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 rounds, Everton is currently ranked 6th in the standings with 7 points.


As for Liverpool, Slaughter's team defeated Burnley 1-0 in the previous round of the league. In terms of record, Everton has 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in the past 5 matches against Liverpool. However, the "Red Army" participated in the first round of the new Champions League season earlier, so Everton has some advantages in terms of physical fitness.


Everton manager Moyes said in an interview, "Liverpool have shown a very high level at different times, but at certain moments they will also expose some weaknesses, especially in conceding goals."


"We have to try to take advantage of these chances. We played against them at Anfield last season and lost the game due to an offside goal. We will try to keep the scoreline close this time and maybe this time things will go our way."


Moyes continued, "This game has been very difficult for me because we are facing a very strong Liverpool team. Strong teams often consume the opponent's physical strength and change their focus. We have shown resilience in defense, and this is what we need to maintain. If you have participated in a derby, you will know how important it is to win the game. This is our task."


"I think everyone is aware of that, both the media and the fans are paying close attention. It's a big game and it comes early, but it will give us the opportunity to test where we are against the top teams."


In addition, when talking about the team's lineup, Moyes said, "Branthwaite and Mykolenko have made progress in their recovery, and we will continue to observe. There are several players in the team who have minor injuries, and we will see how they are doing."


"We have a full squad and when there are injury problems you hope the players who get their chances take their places. I thought Michael Keane played really well in the last game and hopefully he can keep it up."
