Seven matches into the 2026/27 campaign and Everton have gone into the first international break of the new season unbeaten in seven matches in all competitions.
The Blues book-ended a sequence of three consecutive Premier League draws against Bournemouth (1-1)m Manchester United (2-2) and Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 with home wins over Crystal Palace (2-0) on the opening day and signing off with a 1-0 victory against Ipswich Town.
In between all of that, David Moyes’ men also advanced through two rounds of the Carabao Cup, defeating Championship pair Preston North End 4-0 away and Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
All this has been achieved with Moyes having a squad of just 18 outfield players including a solitary striker, right-back and left-back.
The Everton boss has fielded 23 players so far this term but four of those (Beto, Iliman Ndiaye, Tim Iroegbunam and Nathan Patterson) were sold on transfer deadline day with a fifth, Adam Aznou, loaned out for the rest of the season.
And in reverse order, here's a rundown of all the ECHO player ratings, out of 10, so far:
