Everton management know fans want them to finish above Liverpool.
Much will depend on the Reds' clash with Chelsea in midweek.
Everton No2 Steve Round said: "The players want to finish as high up the league as they can and if they can finish above Liverpool then even better.
"David said it's all he gets asked about at the moment! It's in our destiny and we have to win next week against Newcastle.
"We're formidable at Goodison and no team would want to come there on the last day of the season having to win. If we win that game we'll finish seventh."
