Moyes hits out at derby scheduling

Everton boss David Moyes claims the Premier League "let themselves down" with their scheduling of the Merseyside derby.

Moyes was criticised in some quarters for failing to field a full-strength side in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield, seemingly giving precedence to today's FA Cup clash with Sunderland.

But he was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying: "To put that game in there before quarter-finals involving both teams, you think it hardly makes sense."
