1-0 vs Ipswich Town
What happened. Everton beat Ipswich Town 1-0 at home to reach nine points from five unbeaten Premier League games, sitting fifth. Moyes, however, is refusing to talk about European qualification this season.

- Last season's collapse saw no wins in the final seven games after a 3-0 win over Chelsea.
- Everton finished 13th, four points behind Brighton, who made the Conference League.
“We are not using those words this year.”
— David Moyes
