David Moyes has Everton fans dreaming of Europe once again after working wonders in his first full campaign back on Merseyside. The initial trepidation of swapping Goodison Park for Hill Dickinson Stadium is very much a thing of the past as the Toffees chase down a spot in one of the three UEFA competitions.

Everton were very much in the hunt for a shock top-five finish, which would be enough for a Champions League spot, but a heartbreaking 2-1 Merseyside derby defeat with Liverpool may have ended that.

All eyes are now on West Ham next weekend, with Europe still very much on the cards.

Everton Football Club

Founded in 1878, Everton is one of football’s most iconic clubs. Nicknamed the “School of Science” for their intelligent style of play, they were founder members of the Football League and have spent a record 121 seasons in England’s top division. From the legendary exploits of Dixie Dean to the mid-80s dominance under Howard Kendall, the club’s ethos is captured in the Latin motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum — “Nothing but the best is good enough.” After moving from the historic Goodison Park to the modern Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton carries forward a proud legacy and a reputation for producing some of Britain’s most technically gifted players.
