Everton manager David Moyes is fueling the rivalry ahead of a crucial Merseyside derby, as his team aims for European qualification this season. Moyes, who is set to make his derby debut, emphasized the importance of the match and the club's ambitions.

In a recent press conference, Moyes dismissed complaints from Liverpool's Arne Slot regarding officiating, urging him to focus on the game rather than referees. This adds an extra layer of tension as both teams prepare for the highly anticipated clash.
