It is always exciting when the Premier League teams enter the fray as lower-league clubs hope to draw the big names and potentially cause an upset.

League Two Accrington Stanley won't have far to travel for their match on Saturday but they face the toughest of tasks in Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Two non-league sides remain in the competition with Tamworth, the lowest-ranked team remaining in the cup, hosting Tottenham on Sunday as reward for their penalty shootout win against League One side Burton Albion.

Fellow National League outfit Dagenham & Redbridge will go to Championship side Millwall in the last match of the third round on Monday.

Keep all your David Moyes takes coming in.

For now though, we think it's time to switch our focus to FA Cup build-up.

We've got a whopping seventeen matches to bring you!

With Everton teetering above the drop zone, Moyes' key task will be to ensure the club move into their new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock next season playing Premier League football.

The side have been sound defensively but stagnated under Dyche's one-dimensional style of play, with the team creating few chances and the goals drying up.

Strikers Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto have struggled to score through a lack of service, but will now have a fresh start under a new boss with different ideas to help fire the club back up the table.

Supporters had grown tired of watching the team and, despite a general consensus that dismissing Dyche was the correct decision, there was a subdued atmosphere in the FA Cup third-round tie against Peterborough on Thursday evening.

The Blues faithful have been starved of success, but a significant issue at the club in recent years has been a lack of stability.

The Toffees have had to install yet another man in the dugout, and caretaker boss Leighton Baines said there has to be "hope and optimism" amid the managerial change.

Moyes is a safe pair of hands as he returns to familiar surroundings, with the hierarchy bringing back someone who many fans wanted. Their job now is to stand by the new manager.

Everton's numbers in the league this season make for grim reading:

• Only in three seasons in their history have they scored fewer goals after 19 games.
• They have the division's lowest expected goals (xG) at 18.33.
• Their tally of 63 shots on target is the second lowest behind Southampton's 58.
• Everton's average of 0.79 goals per game is their lowest in 13 seasons. It was 1.05 last season and 0.89 in 2022-23.

Everton are 16th in the Premier League - one point clear of the relegation zone - with only three wins from 19 games this season.

Sean Dyche was sacked as manager after less than two years in charge on Thursday.

David Moyes
New Everton manager on Everton's club website

I enjoyed 11 wonderful and successful years at Everton and didn't hesitate when I was offered the opportunity to rejoin this great club.

Now we need Goodison and all Evertonians to play their part in getting behind the players in this important season so we can move into our fabulous new stadium as a Premier League team.

Steven Pienaar, Phil Neville, Tony Hibbert.

Good times.

Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil both feel very Everton in the mid-2000s.

So far it seems like the vast majority of you think this is a really good move.

The nostalgia levels are going to be so high when Everton face Aston Villa at home in their next match on Wednesday night.

Ah yes, Everton's 52,888-capacity stadium remains on schedule. The Toffees are set to move in at the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
