David Moyes has expressed belief in his Everton side ahead of the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.
Everton will travel to Anfield for the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday (September 19) having picked up seven points in the last three Premier League games.
The Toffees sit in sixth place in the league table and have the August Premier League Player of the Month, Jack Grealish, among their ranks.
Moyes' confidence ahead of the fixture comes despite him not having the best of records as a manager away ti Liverpool.
The Scotsman has failed to win against the The Reds in 13 games across his two spells as the Everton boss.
Moyes has failed in another nine outings at Anfield, from his previous spells in charge at Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham United.

When Moyes was asked about Liverpool's potential weaknesses in his pre-match news conference ahead of the derby, he pointed out where Arne Slot's side can be caught out.
"Liverpool have shown at different times where they have been very good, but other times they have shown some vulnerability when they have conceded goals," The Toffees boss stated.
"We will have to try and take advantage of those moments."
The Reds have not appeared at their best this season despite winning all four league games, with Slot's men looking out of sorts defensively at times.
This was evident in games against Bournemouth and Newcastle United, as both games saw Liverpool require late winners after squandering two-goals leads.
Liverpool also needed a late goal from captain Virgil van Dijk to beat Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday (September 17), having given up a two-goal lead once again.
Moyes is aware of his poor record at Anfield, but that will not stop him from setting up his team to get a good result on Saturday.
"This has always been an incredibly difficult game for me personally. We have always been competitive and that will not change and we will do everything we can to get a victory."
"We want to keep our good form going and we look forward to going to Anfield," Moyes added.
