Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League season-opener against Crystal Palace at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST). It is going to be a "difficult opening period" for Everton on the injury front. Christian Norgaard isn't fit yet, James Garner is still recovering from a hernia operation and Tim Iroegbunam will be absent for at least one game with an adductor strain.
