DAVID Moyes insists his desire to beat Liverpool tomorrow is based purely on Everton’s European ambition rather than a personal mission or local bragging rights.
Victory at Anfield on Sunday would end the Blues’ 14-year winless streak across the park, while also guaranteeing they finish above the Reds in consecutive top flight seasons for the first time since 1937.
But Moyes is more motivated by grabbing three points to help his club overtake fifth-placed Tottenham in the contention for a Europa League spot.
The Toffees boss, who hopes to have Darron Gibson fit to return to the side, said: “For Everton – for the team and the supporters – it will mean an awful lot, but personally, it is not an important thing really.
“This is a game which gives us a great chance of finishing in Europe.
“I’m looking forward to trying to get a result for the supporters though. It’s always proved to be a difficult venue for us.
“We’ve had some half decent results lately, but we need to keep winning to keep in touch with the teams above.
“We had a really tough run-in. Everyone said that. That was with eight left and now with three we’re just tucked in behind Tottenham, not as close as we’d like to be.
