Wednesday’s Everton News: Branthwaite latest, Moyes talks end of season push

Goodison Park is clinging to the possibility of a positive finish as the campaign enters its final stretch, with manager David Moyes stressing that momentum must be maintained over the remaining nine fixtures.

“We need to try to keep ourselves pushing, and try to keep going,” Moyes told the club’s media channel. “We’ll not take our foot off the pedal. We’ll try to get the players in the best condition and do everything we can for those games coming up.”

Uncertainty surrounds the fitness of defender Jarrad Branthwaite, with speculation circulating about his availability, though no official update has been released.

Off the pitch, former Everton Women boss Brian Sorensen has been appointed head coach of Aston Villa Women, marking a swift return to management after his departure from Merseyside.

In a lighter moment, Everton’s goalkeeping duo—Jordan Pickford and his wife, England international goalkeeper Megan Walsh—spoke warmly about their close bond and mutual support in an interview with the Liverpool Echo.

Everton, currently fighting to climb the table, will hope the collective resolve highlighted by Moyes translates into points on the pitch.
