00:00The race for Champions League qualification is becoming increasingly unpredictable this season with inconsistent form from several top Premier League
00:11sides opening the door to unlikely challenges.
00:15Recent defeats for Liverpool and Chelsea have intensified the battle for a top five finish with a number of teams
00:23now within reach of a coveted place in Europe's elite competition.
00:30And among them are Everton who sit eighth in the table and just three points off the top five with
00:37seven matches remaining.
00:39The Merseyside club who last played in Europe during the 2017-18 Europa League campaign have not featured in the
00:49Champions League since the 1970s.
00:52Manager David Moyes has acknowledged the significance of the opportunity but suggested that expectations should be managed and remain measured.
01:03He indicated that simply being in contention for European qualification was remarkable for the club regardless of whether it leads
01:13to Champions League football or another European competition next season.
01:19With several teams including Brentford, Fulham and Brighton still mathematically in the mix, the race for European football appears wide
01:28open.
