Everton fullback Leighton Baines is convinced they can challenge for the top four next season.
Everton showed when beating Chelsea and Manchester United at Goodison they have the tools to flatten the best when in the mood and Baines believes that will be the case again.
"There are a lot of 'what ifs' about the season just gone," he told the Liverpool Echo. "If we had started with everyone fit and available - given the way we had finished the season - we would have been right in contention for fourth place.
"That was the big disappointment.
"But now everyone is looking to next season and if we manage to stay away from those injuries and keep everyone fit, maybe if there is one or two additions here and there, great.
"But if there isn't, then it's not a problem because we have proved since the turn of the New Year what a good side we are.
"We are a match for anyone, as we showed against Chelsea and United.
"Hopefully it will be another exciting season."
