Everton boss David Moyes with Champions League and Europa League titles behind him
Everton boss David Moyes with Champions League and Europa League titles behind him
Two strikes from Thierno Barry and a goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sealed all three points on Friday evening against Frank Lampard's side.
That result took David Moyes' side to sixth in the Premier League, with 16 points from their opening 10 matches.
The Scotsman's ultimate ambition is to take the Hill Dickinson Stadium side into continental competition.
If he can achieve that, it would be the first time since their Europa League run in the 2017-18 season.
Now, a new prediction has been shared on where the Merseysiders will finish when all is said and done.
Where does new supercomputer prediction place Everton?
The Blues are expected to finish comfortably in the top-half of the table.
The Opta Analyst supercomputer believes the Blues will finish in eighth place at the end of the campaign on an expected points tally of 53.76.
They have been handed a 0.23 per cent chance at the title and an 11.89 per cent chance to reach the Champions League.
The Toffees also have a 7.50 per cent chance to qualify for the Europa League, while the model does not calculate the Europa Conference League spots.
Whether finishing in eighth position would be enough for a European berth remains to be seen.
Why eighth may not be good enough for Everton
Eighth might not be enough for the Blues to get into Europe next season, despite nine teams playing in continental competition this time around.
Nine English teams are currently playing in Europe, but that is only the second time that has happened after the previous season.
The typical top four qualified for the Champions League, and there was one extra team due to the European Performance Spot, which went to Liverpool.
That meant that the Europa League spots were pushed down to the team's that finished in sixth and seventh, which was Bournemouth and Sunderland.
Crystal Palace also qualified for that competition as a result of winning the Europa Conference League, with Brighton who came eighth last season also in that competition.
The same is not guaranteed to happen for Moyes' side if they do manage to finish where the supercomputer has placed them.
