West Ham United boss David Moyes says Everton remains special to him.

Moyes faces his old club tonight.

He said, "Well, I do because I think to manage any club for 11-and-a-half years, I mean I don't know how often it will happen going forward in the future that managers will get the chance to do 11-and-a-half years at one club.

“But, you know, my club is now West Ham. I'm going to Goodison to win for West Ham now, that's my job. I'll do everything I possibly can to do it.

“But they'll never take away my memories, and probably the biggest is the players I had through my time there. Great players, great to work with, really good characters, and I enjoyed my time very much.

“It's a really tough game at Goodison, it always has been. Over the years, Goodison has never been an easy place for any team to go and win.

“I really enjoyed having that behind me when I was there. They've got an exciting team, they've spent an awful lot of money in recent years, the owners have certainly backed the managers and given them the opportunity to bring in the players they want.

“So that's why I think Everton will now try to compete at the top end, so it'll be a really tough game for us."
