Everton midfielder Leon Osman is eyeing a back door approach to qualifying for the Champions League next season.

The Toffees currently sit in sixth position on the table and although they are seven points behind fourthplacedf Aston Villa, are in striking distance of a top four finish.

"If we can stay under the radar, out of the way and no one notices our approach then we will be happy with that," he told Sky Sports News.

"Hopefully we can pick up enough points. We are definitely still chasing it anyway."
