Moyes: Liverpool close to 4th

Everton boss David Moyes has somewhat surprisingly stated that arch rivals Liverpool will more than likely finish fourth ahead of his side. But Moyes stated the Toffees will battle on until the end of the season.

Moyes said: "We are doing everything we can to make a fight of it but Liverpool have to be favourites, still.

"We have been consistent but for them fourth would be expected. The bookies are right to make them favourites."

"We have to keep our play at this level and keep going right to the end.

"Our performances are getting better, so all we can do is to put ourselves in a position to keep going forward."

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez said: "We have beaten Manchester City and Portsmouth, and they are two teams who have been pushing us all the way.

"They all want a European place.

"I feel we have realised that we can play against the best teams and cause them problems.

"Every win is important when you are fighting for fourth place."
