David Moyes last managed an Everton side in the Premier League on 12 May 2013, when his team defeated West Ham to secure sixth place, one spot above Liverpool. While he headed off to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, Everton missed out on Europe because Wigan Athletic and Swansea City won the domestic Cups. Bill Kenwright tried to sugar the pill by appointing the Wigan manager, Roberto Martínez, as Moyes’ replacement.

Tonight’s opponents, Aston Villa, have dropped down to the Championship, come back up and finished in the top four in the 12 years since Moyes’ departure. As for the other teams in action tonight: Crystal Palace came fifth and won the playoffs in 2013, finishing one place above Leicester, who won the Championship the following year and then the ruddy Premier League in 2015-16.

Newcastle were mired in the Mike Ashley era and have since gone down, bounced back up and become a Saudi-backed powerhouse; Wolves were relegated from the second tier a week before Moyes’ departure and subsequently climbed back to the Premier League. Meanwhile, Everton have bobbed about like a stray football in the Mersey, sinking from fifth in Martínez’s first season into a perpetual relegation battle.

Moyes insists he has not come back to Everton almost 12 years later to get stuck in a survival dogfight, though whether he has the skill and resources to give himself a choice is another matter. Nobody knows how his unexpected return to Goodison will pan out, but there is enough mutual goodwill in the bank to earn him a warm welcome back.

Wolves are playing in an all-old gold outfit, looking like a silkier version of John Beck's early '90s Cambridge. They expertly broke through the field and Guedes dragged his shot wide of the far post. He is adamant that a Newcastle player received the touch and is quite dismayed to see a goal kick awarded.
Villa had some tense moments defensively. Things have been far from smooth for them in recent weeks. There's definitely a special edge to Goodison's Roar tonight. Hosts need to take advantage of that.

Jose Sa had to drop low to deflect Murphy's curling shot from the edge of the area and keep a clean sheet at St James's. Back at Goodison, Tielemans' shot was converted in trademark fashion by Tarkowski before Onana was able to finish off a wild lunge in midfield.
At the King Power, Jamie Vardy failed to make the most of his first-half chances, with Jean-Philippe Mateta having a shot saved, but the Palace forward appeared to be offside.
Manager David Moyes received a rapturous welcome from the home crowd, but his side were put under pressure early on when Villa won a corner, but Pickford made a good save from Morgan Rodgers.
Well, let's go. Kick-offs are looming at St James's Park, Goodison and the King Power. There’s still 30 minutes left until your Emirates flight departs…

“I thought Sean Dyche was tough, but I hope Moyes can keep us like Dyche,” Mary Walz wrote. “It's very early stages, but I don't see any major changes in tactics and he faces the same problems Diche had, mainly a severe lack of hitting talent. I'm completely wrong. I hope so, COYB.”

Our performance was decent, but individual mistakes cost us.”
