Everton have dramatically improved since the opening two months of the season.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman spoke to the media during his pre-match press conference, and shared his ambitions of a top four finish for his side, but insisted that they have to win both of their next two games, as quoted by the Daily Post.
The Blues have been on a fine run of form of late, and currently sit in seventh position in the Premier League table, eight points adrift of fourth placed Liverpool.
They have been playing superbly recently, despite losing to Tottenham last weekend, and their fans have genuine optimism that they can continue their climb up the table, and challenge the clubs currently above them.
And Koeman discussed the potential of forcing their way into contention for a Champions League spot, when speaking to reporters, highlighting the importance of their next two games, as quoted by the Daily Post:

“I still believe in when we win the next two games at home that still something is possible above us in the table. But that starts with six points and starts this Saturday. Arsenal are normally strong and have good players, so it will be really tough to catch them. But maybe after six points then we come closer and then maybe something is possible. It starts always by yourself, don’t look too much to other teams. If you win we come closer and that is the most important.”
Everton’s next two games are home fixtures against West Bromwich Albion and Hull City, and then it’s the big one – Liverpool at Anfield.
And if they can take nine points from those outings, then who knows how far they can go this season.
