Horrendous David Moyes streak suggests Everton’s winless run will continue vs Crystal Palace
Everton are set to welcome Crystal Palace to the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday as David Moyes looks to end the Toffees’ winless run.
The Merseyside club have struggled recently, and are without a victory in all competitions since August.
On Monday, Everton drew 1-1 with West Ham, in what was a disappointing result in a match they were heavily expected to win.
Now, with an in-form Crystal Palace side up next, Moyes’ task to end the Toffees’ winless run does not get any easier.
David Moyes has not beaten Crystal Palace at home in the Premier League since 2013
Despite Moyes’ recent successes in the Premier League, the manager has plenty of unwanted records in the division.
As it stands, Moyes is yet to pick up a Premier League victory at Anfield, a streak that has lasted 21 matches.
However, it isn’t just against the Reds that the Scot has a poor record against.
| David Moyes’ record against Crystal Palace | |
| Wins | 19 |
| Draws | 4 |
| Losses | 4 |
According to BBC Sport on 3 October, Moyes has not won a Premier League home match against Crystal Palace since September 2013.
This streak stretches back six matches, which has resulted in four draws and two losses.
With this information, combined with the fact that Crystal Palace are a draw away from setting a new club record, it seems highly unlikely that the Toffees will end their winless run on Sunday.
Moyes will need to pull off some magic if they are to beat Palace, something that he seems incapable of doing in a home match against the Eagles.
Pressure is starting to mount on Moyes
While Moyes is unlikely to get the boot anytime soon, the pressure is starting to mount on the Scotsman.
Moyes was heavily criticised for his handling of the Carabao Cup last month, as a heavily rotated Everton side were knocked out by an out-of-form Wolves side.
This, combined with a four-match winless run, is no doubt a concern early into the season.
Everton now face a tough run of fixtures, including matches against Manchester City and Tottenham after the Palace match.
Failure to win any of these, and Moyes’ job may start to come under pressure at the Toffees.
