Moyes happy with 'underdogs' tag

The Official Everton Website says that David Moyes is comfortable with Liverpool being considered the favourites for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final. But he insists he is taking a group of players to Wembley that will give everything to bridge any gap and book a place in the final.

He told evertonfc.com: "The bookies are very rarely wrong, aren't they? And the bookies will see Liverpool as favourites undoubtedly. I think because of the quality Liverpool possess and the squad, that's why I think most people who bet will put Liverpool as favourites.

"I can only talk about Everton. I can't really talk about Liverpool and what they do or what they spend — that's nothing to do with us.

"But we do the best we can at Everton, we always have done and great credit to the players who we've brought in, they always try and compete and they always show a great desire in all the games, so I think because of that the players deserve the credit. Whoever we bring in always works very hard to try and make whatever gulf there is as little as possible.

"Liverpool have got a great history but Everton in the past have had a great history as well, so both clubs will go into the game knowing it's a game they both want to win. It's an important match for both of us but I can only tell you what we're thinking about at Everton and at Everton we're going to try to be positive, we're going to try to give ourselves every opportunity to get to the final."
