Moyes was also asked if he was expecting Brennan Johnson to have extra motivation to impress against Palace, so soon after departing SE25.
But the Everton boss said he unsure whether this will be a decisive factor in Saturday's content.
"I don't know if that's Brennan's thinking, but it could be the same for Dwight [McNeil]. But we don't know that.
"Obviously, it's never an easy thing playing against your old club as quickly as it is. I think they'll both be glad to get this game out the way and they can move on after this way."

Moyes confirmed that new signing Christian Norgaard isn't yet fit enough for his debut and will miss Saturday's game against Palace.
James Garner, who is still recovering from a hernia operation, and Tim Iroegbunam will also miss out.
As mentioned above, former Eagle Brennan Johnson could feature against Palace after moving to Merseyside earlier this month.

The Boss: David Moyes
David Moyes is now over 18 months into his second spell as manager at Everton after returning in January 2025.
The Scot steered them away from a relegation battle in his first few months in charge. Then, in their first season at a brand new 52,000-seater stadium last year, Everton finished 13th after a brief flirtation with the European qualification places.
A player at Preston North End before taking over as manager from Gary Peters in 1998, the team were promoted to the First Division in May 2000. Preston only narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League the next season with a 3-0 defeat against Bolton Wanderers in the First Division play-off final.
