Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti says Europa League qualification is the goal, but that reaching the top four this season is not realistic.
He said: "Honestly, we are not thinking about the Champions League. Playing in the Europa League would be a fantastic result for us next season - this is the target.
"[Fourth-placed] Chelsea are too far ahead in this moment. Maybe in the next three or four games they can be closer to us, but there are a lot of fantastic teams around us."
