Everton's unbeaten start to the Premier League and Carabao Cup progress has sparked guarded optimism among fans. However, this follows a chaotic transfer window that saw key player Iliman Ndiaye sold to Manchester City for £65m and a failed move for AS Monaco's Falorin Balogun. Everton are the only top-four English club without a trophy since 2000, their last being the 1995 FA Cup win.

They narrowly avoided relegation in 2022-23, surviving on a final-day victory. Former player Leon Osman insists he wouldn't swap being an Evertonian for anything, while dedicated supporter Dr. David France celebrates his 20 million miles traveled to watch the club. Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Canada's Mark Carney recently attended an EFL Cup win.

Despite painful statistics, Everton remain one of only six Premier League originals never relegated, showcasing fiercely loyal support and sold-out games at Goodison Park and the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
