Everton’s bright start to the season remains intact as of 17 September 2026. David Moyes’ side have yet to lose a match in any competition, and this update brings the picture up to date after the international break.
Everton early season status update for September 2026
Everton sit unbeaten across all competitions this season. From two Premier League fixtures, Moyes’ team have taken four points, backed up by a comfortable midweek win in the Carabao Cup.
The mood around Hill Dickinson Stadium has been settled rather than euphoric, with performances built on organisation and control rather than spectacle. That steady approach has been echoed off the pitch too, with long-term stability at the club under new ownership helping to underpin the calm start.
Everton’s unbeaten opening results across all competitions
Everton opened their Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium, a result that gave Moyes’ side an early platform to build on. They followed that with a 1-1 draw away at Bournemouth, a point that kept the unbeaten run alive on the road.
In the Carabao Cup, Everton were far more emphatic, beating Preston 4-0 to progress comfortably into the next round. Taken together, those three results mean Everton have not lost a competitive match so far this season, a record few supporters would have predicted before a ball was kicked.
How David Moyes established early form at Hill Dickinson Stadium
David Moyes has built this unbeaten start around familiar principles: a settled defence, disciplined shape, and a squad that knows its jobs inside Hill Dickinson Stadium. The 2-0 win over Crystal Palace showed a team comfortable defending a lead, while the Carabao Cup rout of Preston gave fringe players a chance to contribute without disrupting the pattern Moyes has established.
The draw at Bournemouth was less convincing on paper, but it extended the unbeaten sequence and suggested a squad capable of picking up points even away from home. For background on how the current group has taken shape at the stadium, our recent Hill Dickinson news covers the wider context behind these performances.
What Jamie Carragher said about Everton’s start
Searches connecting Jamie Carragher to Everton’s start have risen sharply this month, but no verified quotes from the former Liverpool defender and pundit appear in the club’s records or confirmed reporting at this stage. Any specific remarks attributed to Carragher on Everton’s form should be treated as unconfirmed until a named outlet publishes them.
What can be stated with confidence is the record itself. Everton have taken four points from two Premier League games, beaten Crystal Palace 2-0 at home, drawn 1-1 at Bournemouth, and thrashed Preston 4-0 in the Carabao Cup. Those results, not any single pundit’s opinion, are the verified basis of the current unbeaten run.
What happens next for Everton
Manchester United’s visit to Hill Dickinson Stadium is the next major test of Moyes’ unbeaten record in the Premier League. A strong home performance against a fellow traditional heavyweight would go a long way to convincing supporters this start is more than an early-season blip.
After that, attention turns to the upcoming Wolves Carabao Cup tie, followed by a demanding run of Premier League fixtures against Tottenham, Ipswich, Hull, Chelsea and Arsenal. That sequence will offer a clearer sense of where this Everton side truly stands.
