Everton’s unbeaten start has changed the early Premier League picture

David Moyes' Everton side have started the 2026/27 Premier League campaign with an unbeaten five-match run, placing them seventh in the table with nine points. The Toffees have recorded two wins and three draws, conceding only three goals past Jordan Pickford to share the division's best defensive record with Leeds United. Their campaign includes a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace and a recent 1-0 win against Ipswich Town.

James Sheehan writes that Everton's early success stems from defensive discipline and control rather than prolific attacking play. Defender James Tarkowski leads the squad with 182 completed passes, while Thierno Barry is the team's top league scorer with two goals. Everton's next fixture is an away trip to face eighth-placed Hull City on Sunday, October 11, where Moyes' side will look to extend their momentum.
