Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta is convinced they can challenge for a top four placing next season.

Arteta believes Europe's elite competition is a realistic target for David Moyes' team. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season, the Spaniard insists Evertonians can look forward to a bright future at the club.

"I think we are good enough to get into the top four," said Arteta.

"But it's no good us saying that, without all of these problems, we could have been in there now. What we need to do first is keep everyone fit. Then we have to work really hard and do the right things.

"But we've been on really good run for 20 or so games now. That's all we can do right now, try to win the last two games of the season and leave a good feeling for the club and the fans over the summer. We can then build on that for next season."
