Everton currently sit eighth in the Premier League, but there is an underlying problem.
David Moyes has the Toffees in a strong position to qualify for Europe, although the Glaswegian will be concerned to see just how few Premier League goalscorers his side contains.

Everton in danger of ending the season with fewest different goalscorers in the Premier League
Everton have only had eight different goalscorers in the Premier League so far this season, the fewest of any team in the division – according to Opta.
Even Wolves – who sit rock bottom and have only netted 18 goals in 27 games – have managed to share the goalscoring burden more effectively than Everton.
Unless two new goalscorers emerge for Moyes before the term ends, the 2025/26 campaign will go down in history as the worst Premier League season Everton have ever experienced in terms of spreading the goals around.
Season Different Goalscorers
2025/2026 8
2012/2013 10
2002/2003 10
1996/1997 10
2020/2021 10
2017/2018 11
2005/2006 11
1994/1995 11
2019/2020 11
The days where Moyes could expect the likes of Phil Jagielka, Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines to pop up with goals along with Marouane Fellaini, Tim Cahill and Steven Pienaar seem to be well and truly over at Everton – even Tim Howard has a Premier League goal to his name.
The three players Everton cannot afford to lose
Moyes is currently relying on Thierno Barry, Iliman Ndiaye and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to deliver goals for Everton, and if anything were to happen to this trio, the figures suggest results would suffer badly.

All three are joint-top scorers for Everton in the Premier League this term with five goals each, and if they fail to find the net, the Toffees rarely win.
For example, Michael Keane – who may even leave this summer – is the next highest scorer with three goals in 22 Premier League appearances, so Moyes desperately needs other players to step up.
Does David Moyes need to put more trust in Everton’s academy players? 😤
Surely some of these players can do better than Beto and Dwight McNeil! 😡

If not, Everton will record their worst-ever Premier League season for sharing the goals around, pointing to a concerning trend in the final third despite a strong defensive performance from the Toffees this term.
