Manager David Moyes has refused to give up on his Everton's bid to finish in fourth place in the Premier League, despite a 1-0 defeat in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool.
An early Fernando Torres strike gave the Reds victory at Anfield, leaving the Blues five points behind their city rivals in the chase for fourth place.
However, Moyes said after the game: "Any team with a five-point advantage like Liverpool have now would feel confident.
"But I have to believe we can still catch them. From our point of view, the fight goes on.
"There are teams below us who believe they can catch us and we feel the same about teams ahead of us, we can still catch Liverpool.
"What disappointed me most was that we just didn't create anything. We did not have enough up front to really worry their defence.
"But this team of mine will get better. We have had a wonderful season and to be in fifth place is still a major achievement."
