About the Club

Liverpool, their rivals were founded 14 years after Everton and shared a ground known as Anfield. Everton have had many recent successes after qualifing for the UEFA Cup and Champions League. Everton will be looking to cause distress to the top 4 this season
The Gaffer
David Moyes has been manager of Everton since he was appointed the job after Walter Smith was sacked. Moyes had a superb first season in charge almost clinching a UEFA Cup spot, unfortunately, Blackburn got their first. Moyes was wondering what he had done wrong as Everton slumped to 17th and were favourties to be relegated next season. However in the 2004-2005 season, Everton weren't relegated but found themselves above Liverpool in 4th. Since then Everton's target has always been Europe. David Moyes will be looking to repeat the Season of 2004-2005.
The Ground
Anfield was the home of Everton until 1892 where Liverpool got full rights. Everton moved into Goodison Park, which is still their Home Ground today. Ever since Anfield was given to Liverpool, the rivalry has developed into one of the greatest derbies of all, The Merseyside Derby. Goodison Park has staged more top flight games that any other stadium in Britain. It also hosted the 1966 World Cup Semi-Final. The capacity of just over 40,000 is the 9th biggest stadium in the Premier League, however it is well above 9th best.
