Richard Keys and Andy Gray call out Everton in Premier League latest
Everton have raced away from Premier League relegation trouble under David Moyes to solidify themselves in mid-table.
Everton now sit 15th after their 1-1 draw with Wolves on Saturday, as Jack Harrison’s first goal of the season was cancelled out by Marshall Munetsi’s equaliser.
The Toffees are one point behind Tottenham and Manchester United, who drew with Bournemouth and Arsenal on Sunday, 9 March.
Everton have not finished in the top-half of the Premier League since 2021, while they are currently nine points adrift of 10th place Fulham with just 10 games left to play.

The Toffees face West Ham at Goodison Park on 15 March, which offers them their last opportunity to put points on the board until 2 April, when they take on Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
| Premier League table (13th-16th, 10/03/2025) | Team | Games played | Goal difference | Points |
| 13 | Tottenham | 28 | 14 | 34 |
| 14 | Man United | 28 | -6 | 34 |
| 15 | Everton | 28 | -4 | 33 |
| 16 | West Ham | 27 | -15 | 33 |
Despite the upturn in form, Andy Gray is not happy with where his former club still find themselves, with Richard Keys agreeing that more is expected at Goodison.
Speaking on beIN Sports over the Premier League table on 9 March, Gray said: “When you’ve got Tottenham, Manchester United, Everton and West Ham, four teams there.”
Keys added: “That you would expect to see sixth or eighth.”
The last time the Toffees finished eighth in the Premier League came back in 2019, under the stewardship of former boss Marco Silva.

David Moyes will not be concerned by Everton’s current league position
There is no doubt that Everton boast a name and reputation which Premier League fans rightly expect to see in the top-half of the table.
However, for three successive seasons before the current campaign, the Toffees found themselves caught in the battle to avoid relegation to the Championship.
When Moyes was reappointed to the Goodison Park dugout in January, his objective was to preserve the club’s Premier League status.
Everton’s current run of eight games unbeaten in the top-flight has all but guaranteed their spot in next season’s top-flight, as they are now 16 points clear of the relegation zone.
The Toffees can now look towards next season, when they will be playing at their new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock, and supporters will be relieved that their club will still be plying their trade in the Premier League when they move out of Goodison Park.
Moyes and co should already be more concerned about putting the correct building blocks in place to have a successful season next term than where they finish this season, as they are no longer looking nervously over their shoulders at the bottom three.
