The Toffees were struggling for form under Sean Dyche but now go into the final Goodison Park derby on a run of three straight league wins under David Moyes. “David has come in and revitalised them,” Houghton told Goodison’s Greatest Derbies, a special edition of BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast.
