Everton captain Phil Neville is remaining positive about a top four finish for the club.

The Toffees currently sit sixth on the table and are seven points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, but the former Manchester United man is confident his team can reel them in.

With an FA Cup semi-final on the horizon, Neville knows the team needs to be hitting top gear very soon to achieve their goal.

"From enjoying the celebrations on the pitch to getting back to the dressing room - straight away my mind turned to the Stoke City game," he told the club's official website.

"I think success is brilliant at the time but the sooner you move on and concentrate on the next task, the more successful you can get.

"We're all looking forward to the semi-final but there are four or five games before that. All games we should be winning, and if we do win those games then we can be right in the mix for a top four place."
