Moyes calm on Everton hopes

Everton boss David Moyes is refusing to get carried away with his side's impressive start to the season.

Everton are currently fourth in the Premier League table after seven games, five points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

Moyes, who picked up the Premier League Manager of the Month award for September, is delighted with the way his side have started the campaign but insists it is too early to offer any judgements on their hopes for the season.

"We tend not to start to well and I wanted us to get off to winning a few games as we have tended to come stronger later on in the season," Moyes told Sky Sports News.

"I say it carefully that I see ten games as a start and it is only six or seven games at this moment in time.

"The players have played really well and been in good form.

"There have been some outstanding performances from people like [Nikica] Jelavic, Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines. A lot of those players have contributed in a big way to us getting this award together."

Everton came from behind to grab a draw at Wigan at the weekend and travel to strugglers QPR after the international break, before Liverpool visit Goodison Park for the first Merseyside derby of the season on October 28.
