Everton manager wants new era to close gap in old rivalry

- Chris McKenna

DAVID MOYES wants Everton to dream of competing with Liverpool again for European places.

The Toffees wave goodbye to Goodison Park at the end of this season so tonight will be the final Merseyside derby at the ground.

A new era is coming as they prepare to move to Bramley-Moore Dock and Moyes is hoping he can build the club back to where he left it in 2013.

In the Scottish manager's final two seasons of his first stint in charge, Everton finished above Liverpool in the Premier League. In 2005 they also qualified for the Champions League.

When he had taken over in 2002, there was a huge gulf between the two clubs. Since he left that gulf has returned, with Everton back fighting against relegation while the Reds are winning major trophies.
