Everton boss Dave Moyes insists defeat at Liverpool yesterday hasn't ended their Champions League hopes.

"A five-point advantage at this stage of the season is a great advantage but I'm looking over my shoulder at teams who are five points behind us and hoping we've got enough to stay clear," the Everton manager said. "I'm sure those just above us are doing the same.

"We will fight on. I told the players afterwards that it is great Everton are coming here involved in games [which affect] thinking about the Champions League. I've no doubt we will pull it together. We could have gone under here but we didn't. These players don't lose often, don't concede many goals, but the disappointment today was that we didn't create any chances."
