Moyes Reveals Everton Hopes Ahead Of Season Run-In

David Moyes insists his Everton side “will not take their foot off the pedal” as they target a strong finish to the Premier League campaign.

Just nine outings remain for the Toffees, who earned a comfortable 2-0 victory over Burnley last time out – a result which followed a dramatic 3-2 win at Newcastle United.

Speaking to evertontv, Moyes says his team have benefitted from the improving performances of key players like Iliman Ndiaye, Idrissa Gana Gueye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

“We’re seeing a much-improved Ili and Gana after coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations," explained the Everton manager.

“And also, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s improving greatly because he’s just beginning to get back to where he was before the hamstring injury.

“I think getting those players back on form is helping us play better and helping us get a bit better rhythm.

“We’ve been lacking a little bit of balance since Jack Grealish went out of the team.

“We’re still pushing the centre-forwards to try to get us goals – we need those boys, both (Thierno) Barry and Beto to get us goals.”

Currently in eighth position, the Blues face an away trip against league leaders Arsenal on Saturday (5.30pm GMT).

Moyes is confident his side can arrive into the fixture to “give everything they can” as they approach the final weeks of the season.

“Nine games to go now, and we need to try to keep ourselves pushing, and try to keep going,” he added.

“We’ll not take our foot off the pedal. We’ll try to get the players in the best condition and do everything we can for those games coming up.”
