Everton skipper Phil Neville believes they're not too far away from challenging the likes of Chelsea for a top four berth next season.

After their FA Cup final defeat, the Blues skipper took a look around the dressing-room at injured stars Phil Jagielka, Mikel Arteta and Yakubu.

And with striker Victor Anichebe also on the mend, he saw hope for the future.

Neville said: "I looked round and thought that if you put Yak, Phil, Mikel and Victor back in the squad, I don't think we'd be too far short.

"Everyone enjoys new signings coming in, but those four will be like four new ones.

"The manager won't accept anything less than we have achieved this season.

"That's how he drives us on all the time."
