Everton are in desperate need of finding some form at the Hill Dickinson Stadium following the turn of the year.
After a strong start to life on the docks, Everton have encountered some struggles at their new state-of-the-art stadium.
David Moyes has had to deal with numerous issues on Merseyside over recent weeks as the club have seen numerous players missing through injury.
With so many players having been sidelined, Everton would have hoped to hang their hat on the home form at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

What David Moyes said about Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton fans have experienced issues at the Hill Dickinson when it comes to their matchday experiences.
The players are also suffering from some issues having not won a game on home soil since the start of December against Nottingham Forest.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the game on Monday, Moyes shed some light on why the Blues have struggled so much at home recently.
What do you miss most about Goodison Park after months in the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🥺
The new stadium has surpassed all expectations so far 🔥
“We moved from Goodison, which was a slightly tighter stadium, more compact,” he said.
“This is a bigger arena here – the whole stadium and the field as well – so I think we are still taking a little bit of time to settle in.
“But we started well here and there are no reasons why we shouldn’t be doing better. We have to play better if we are going to get the results at home.”
Everton are benefitting financially from the new stadium, with an international friendly now confirmed to be taking place on the docks later this year.
The form in the Premier League on home soil is a concern, however.
As the 62-year-old manager has set out the ambitious target of Europe, Everton need to nail down their home form if they stand any chance of achieving that.

A poor run of form at the new ground will naturally have some reflecting on the differences between the two homes of the Blues.
