Everton boss David Moyes is feeling better about their position after victory over Fulham.
Everton are now eighth in a congested table, eight points above the relegation zone and looking to finish a disappointing campaign with a flourish.
Moyes said: "Most years at Everton we have been up there, so we have not got any real reason to look down.
"Unfortunately the form we have been in has made us think we might have to, but we are grinding our way out of it.
"I don't know if it will be enough but I would hope we take some more points before the end of the season."
