Everton’s fortunes have seen a huge revival in their fortunes since David Moyes returned to Goodison Park as manager in January.
The Toffees played out a 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Saturday to extend their unbeaten Premier League run to nine games.
The Hammers were in a dominant position for victory after Tomas Soucek broke the deadlock with a fine finish on 67 minutes. But Moyes’ men forced the visitors to share the spoils, with Jake O’Brien popping up with an injury-time equaliser.
Everton’s resurgence in form means they are now 17 points above the relegation zone, which is enough to guarantee their survival in the English top-flight.
However, the battle for points has now paused as the March 2025 international break is upon us.
