Everton boss Moyes admits Arsenal opening day defeat was big blow

Everton return to Arsenal seeking revenge for their opening day thrashing by the Gunners.

Today's clash brings back memories of Everton's opening-day 6-1 drubbing by the Gunners. Yet Moyes is convinced Wenger's men will be facing a far different side at the Emirates.

He said: "It was real blow to us, but for half-an-hour it could have gone either way.

"Then they scored a couple of goals from free-kicks - and it went from bad to worse.

"It wasn't a good day and I do think it had a lasting effect at that time.

"Of course, it's always difficult when you play one of the top teams, but we're finding our form a bit and maybe can surprise them."
