Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford admits the players top six remains their ambitions.
With £200million spent in the last couple of seasons on Richarlison, Moise Kean and others, Everton expected to be where this afternoon's opponents Leicester are - in the top six.
"That's the aspiration and where we want to be," insists Pickford, using his status to front up. "We've dropped points where we shouldn't have. We need to stop Leicester in their tracks and it is a great opportunity.
"I believe in this squad. The talent and ability we have top to bottom is very good and can match any team in the Premier League. We have a lot of international players."
