The second David Moyes era at Everton gets under way when they face Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Wednesday night - and he faces a mammoth task to revive this fallen giant of English football.

Everton manager David Moyes said on Monday he was confident in his ability to lead the Merseyside club to better days again, almost 12 years after his first spell in charge during which they had their only top-four finish of the last 37 years.
