Moyes: If I said I was lying to like derby, it would be much easier if your team was strong enough.

This Saturday, Everton will challenge Liverpool away, and coach Moyes talked about the topic of this game at a pre-match press conference. "We have a few players recovering, they have some other minor injuries, but we'll see how things are going," Moyes said. When asked if he likes the Derby as a coach, "If I say I like it's a lie, if you have a stronger team, the Derby will be much easier. We'll face difficulties and have to go all out to fight. We have to be competitive and make sure we play at the level, we've shown signs of progress and hope to show it in the game." Moyes, 62, failed to win in his previous 22 visits to Anfield, but he hopes to close the gap between the two teams. When he coached Everton for the first time, he surpassed Liverpool in the standings three times, including two consecutive years in 2012 and 2013.

Moyes said: "I think the important derby in any big city is always very important, and it has been an extremely difficult game for me because we always face a strong Liverpool team with many good players."

"But we are always very competitive, and that won't change, and we will do everything we can to win. When I first coached Everton, the gap between the two teams was the closest in history."

"We have been ranked a few times, but it has to be said that facing such a successful club, winning many trophies, we have to accept this reality and solve our own problems, especially the recent ones. I think we are in a better position now and look better in the future."
