Incredible Graham Potter revelation ahead of ‘David Moyes derby’ will have West Ham fans sweating. Graham Potter takes his West Ham United side to Goodison Park to take on David Moyes’s Everton on Saturday afternoon. David Moyes was moved on from West Ham at the end of last season, with Julen Lopetegui coming in to replace him at the London Stadium.
However, the Spaniard only lasted six months, before Graham Potter was handed the reigns. Graham Potter is lightyears ahead of David Moyes when it comes to tactics and ambition to take on the big guns.

Potter has already made a hugely positive impact in charge of West Ham, and the players clearly love playing for him.
Hammers skipper Jarrod Bowen has spoken very highly indeed of the 49-year-old head coach.
However, he has to start winning games consistently now.
And three points away at Everton this afternoon would be a really big lift for everyone involved with the club. Graham Potter faces off with David Moyes in Everton vs West Ham clash
Moyes has done brilliantly since taking over as the Toffees manager for the second time.
The Scot has guided Everton away from relegation trouble, and that was absolutely vital considering the cost of their new stadium build.
Moyes spoke to reporters yesterday and shared how much he’s looking forward to the huge clash against his former club, one that has been dubbed the ‘David Moyes derby’.
He spoke very highly about West Ham as a club, and suggested it would be weird for him to come up against us, having managed us for so long (Everton’s YouTube channel).
Surprisingly, Moyes has really struggled when coming up against Potter in the past. Moyes has faced Potter seven times during his managerial career.
Six of those games were during Potter’s spell in charge of Brighton, whilst one of them was when he had the Chelsea job. And incredibly, the current Hammers boss has never lost against a Moyes team.
The former Hammers boss has drawn five times and lost twice when coming head-to-head with the 49-year-old. That’s incredible really, when you think that West Ham were a consistent top seven team when playing all those games against Potter’s sides.
How typical is that. It’s the last thing we want to hear with kick-off just around the corner.
The Hammers always seem to be the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to players and managers breaking ducks against us. How typical would it be for West Ham to go to Everton and lose today, with David Moyes picking up his first ever win over Graham Potter.
The script has written itself unfortunately…
