Everton's win over Palace gives David Moyes a boost, with the team looking to improve on their 13th place finish in the 2025 Premier League table. The team's recent form, with 0 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses in their last 5 games, will need to be turned around if they are to challenge for European places.
What happened?
The win over Palace was a significant result, with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry securing the points. The team's luck was tested as Palace hit the post twice in the first half, but Everton's goalkeeper Jordon Pickford made an early contender for save of the season from Eddie Nketiah.
Why it matters for Everton
Moyes has a lot riding on this season, with his contract set to expire and no renewal talks planned. The team's performance will be crucial in determining his future, and the next fixture against Ipswich on September 19, 2026, will be an important test.
What comes next?
Everton's transfer activity will be closely watched, with Moyes looking to sign more players before the end of the window. The team's search for a right-back continues, and if they can make some smart acquisitions, they may be able to challenge for European places. With their current goal difference of -3, the team will need to improve their defensive record if they are to succeed.
