Everton have a big opportunity to do something incredibly impressive this season by qualifying for Europe.
A lot of football still needs to be played, but David Moyes is positioning his side for an exciting end to the campaign.
Victory at the weekend against Fulham has now propelled Everton up to eighth spot in the Premier League table.
For Everton to qualify for Europe, the Blues are going to need everyone to be at their very best, with a lot of focus being placed on the two strikers.
Thierno Barry’s recent form stopped Everton from signing a striker in the winter transfer window.
The Frenchman is now working behind the scenes to repay the faith put in him by those back at Finch Farm.

Having finally found his shooting boots, Moyes has noticed a more confident Barry around Finch Farm over recent weeks.
The striker has netted five this season, with four of those coming in the last seven Premier League games.

Taking to Instagram, the 23-year-old has shared footage of him working away from Everton with a private striker coach.
The coach in question is Scott Chickelday, who is a UEFA licensed coach, having previously worked at the likes of Tottenham Hotspur.
Barry was seen working on his first touch and finishing with the private coach, who appeared to be impressed with what he was seeing.
Even Jamie Carragher has noticed an improvement with Barry following his goal in the recent draw against Leeds United.
Tyler Dibling may need to take note of Barry’s desire to improve
Just a matter of days ago, Moyes issued a clear message to Tyler Dibling to improve following a difficult start to the season.
The 19-year-old has struggled to nail down any regular minutes under the Scot having failed to even come off the bench at the weekend.
Barry has proven that a difficult start can be turned around on Merseyside, though.
Dibling must learn from the 23-year-old striker, who is showing a clear attitude towards improving himself every day.
Even in these recent weeks of improved form in front of goal, it has not been all positive for Barry, who was far from his best against Fulham.
However, Everton fans can see his desire to make his time at the Hill Dickinson Stadium a success.
