David Moyes Newcastle 2025 admission has highlighted the challenges his Everton side will face on the final day of the Premier League season. The Toffees boss, speaking ahead of their trip to St James’ Park, praised Newcastle United’s achievements, calling their season "remarkable." Moyes' team, already safe in 13th place, head to Tyneside without several key players, while the Magpies need a win to secure Champions League football.
Moyes, who formerly managed Sunderland, is under no illusions about the task ahead. Newcastle have already ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought with their Carabao Cup triumph in March, and a top-five finish would cap off a historic season under Eddie Howe. For Everton, it’s about finishing strong after a late-season surge under Moyes' guidance.
Moyes: “Newcastle Have Done a Remarkable Job”
“It’s a great achievement for Newcastle, or it could be a great achievement for Newcastle. They’ve already won a trophy this year, so they’ve done a remarkable job.” — David Moyes
Moyes acknowledges the energy of St James’ Park will make it a tough afternoon, especially with Everton’s injury concerns.
