Everton boss David Moyes has promised Liverpool another hard time when the sides clash in the FA Cup fourth round tie.

Everton extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a typically belligerent performance and claimed a deserved 1-1 draw in last night's Barclays Premier League showdown.

And Moyes claims that although he will not be able to shuffle his side in the way that Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez can, Everton can promise their neighbours another fierce confrontation.

Moyes said: "Who knows what players Liverpool will field?

"Exactly what Liverpool side we will be facing then, I don't know. But he (Benitez) has the players to change things, I do not.

"He has the squad and the numbers to change things around, I don't. You won't see much difference from us, we will just be doing the same things."

And Moyes has confidence that last night's star performers, goalscorer Tim Cahill - converted from midfield in an injury crisis - and defender Phil Jagielka can be relied upon for another top class showing.

He said: "Tim can be a centre-forward. I can see that in him. He comes up with important goals and it is good players that can do that.

"If you can do that at big, important moments in matches, it shows you are a big player. And Tim is that.

"But this result will have little bearing on the cup tie. This was a hard-earned point away from home and now we have to play them in a cup tie on Sunday.

"It is difficult to say the game will have much bearing on the cup tie."

He added: "Phil Jagielka was great, but he has been doing that all season. His partnership with Joleon Lescott is excellent. They are both good defenders.

"Phil has been immense throughout the season, with Joleon, Leighton Baines and Tony Hibbert, the defence got into the right positions and defended really well.

"You don't go to Liverpool and not have to defend, but out lads stood up to that very well."

Moyes frequently refers to Everton's lesser resources when discussing Liverpool, which makes their current sixth position even more commendable considering their injury problems.

Everton started the season with only two wins in nine league games, but there has been a major turnaround since.

Moyes said: "We were certainly not ready at the beginning of the season. Some of our players were not back to fitness and we were not in the right condition.

"And that showed in the early part of the season. But when we have our players fit and available, we are a very good team.

"In my period at the club and with the players we have, that stability is clear."

He added: "We played with confidence and defended very well in important parts of the game.

"For us it is another point against a really good team who are buying players to win championships. We are not.

"So these sort of results show how far Everton have come. The stability we have at our club gives us the strength to come to a really big club and get a good result.

"The cup game will be completely different, we aimed to get something from the league game and a point was fully deserved. But the cup tie is a very different style of match.

"But we achieved things we wanted to achieve. We disrupted Liverpool's rhythm, they have a lot of mechanical, organised, moves and set-ups in their play.

"They are a very good team, that is why they are going for the Premier League title. For us to give them a good game says more about Everton than them.

"A point away from home against a good side with aspirations of winning the title is very encouraging for us. I hope that some day we have those aspirations, but not quite yet."
