This will be the first meeting between Sunderland and Everton at the Stadium of Light since September 2016, when the Toffees won 3-0 and Moyes was in charge of the Black Cats.
Moyes' current side have dropped down to 14th spot in the table, only managing to win one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Set pieces are evolving
They will hope to bounce back this weekend in what has been a tricky run of form. Moyes first spoke on set pieces, which are something that are quickly infecting the Premier League.
"I don't think you can absolutely negate it... I think we are seeing some incredibly innovative set pieces - I don't think you can ever stop it completely."
Team news
Moyes then provided some team news in what was a positive update for the side, who are looking in top shape ahead of the clash.
"(Nathan Patterson) has had a small procedure on his groin so he's obviously not available for this game.
"We've got a couple of knocks and bruises and one or two people with a couple of little bits, but hopefully we'll be okay."
Everton's poor strike force
Finally, Beto and Thierno Barry keep failing to score goals under Moyes, with the pair of them having just one Premier League goal between them this season.
He was asked about the duo’s confidence and explained that all he can do is put them in the right positions and hope their form improves.
“Obviously, we want our centre-forwards to score more goals.
“Whatever we say, we are making more chances, we’re having much more of the ball than we’ve had, we’re being more creative in what we’re doing, so this is where you’re hoping we make a few more chances and the forwards get it.
“In the couple of games recently, we’ve not quite got on the end of two or three things which on another day we do, and it changes the outcome, changes the mood.
“It’s very difficult for anybody, footballers can lose confidence when their form isn’t so good – it could be a centre-forward, it could be a centre-half or goalkeepers – they all need to have confidence to play well.
“But centre-forwards are the ones that thrive on the feeling of getting the goals. So, all you can ever do is keep putting them in the right positions and hopefully they’ll get the goals.
“We also have to get plenty of balls in to give them those chances to do so.”
