Only 12 games remain of the Premier League season, and Everton are in the mix for European football.
David Moyes has stated he wants to qualify for Europe this term, and they’re well-placed to do so, sitting in eighth place at the moment.
Let’s hear your score predictions for Everton’s game with Manchester United!
Can the Toffees finally halt their winless run at the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🙏

Everton could earn up to £35m if they get into the Conference League and go far, so it would boost the transfer kitty.
With that said, Moyes and his recruitment chiefs will be looking to add more quality in the upcoming summer transfer window.
For Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko, it’s particularly important for them to perform before the next window, as they could be let go otherwise in the rebuild.
Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko could be playing for new Everton contracts
Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko are both out of contract this summer and there’s been no word on any renewal talks.
So, these final 12 games are likely to decide whether they’re kept on at the football club or let go on free transfers.

Mykolenko has been very error-prone this term, so he certainly has to step up to earn fresh terms.
Keane has enjoyed a much better season, but the club seem to be planning for life without the former England international.
John Stones is being linked to the Hill Dickinson Stadium and so too is Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi.
Both centre-backs are due to become free agents at the end of the season.
Idrissa Gana Gueye may also be fighting for his Everton future
Idrissa Gana Gueye is also out of contract in the summer, so he’s coming towards the end of his second spell on Merseysiders.
Gueye seems a bit more unlikely to get a new deal than the aforementioned duo, as he’s turning 37 in September.
Gueye has also been showing signs of decline lately, especially following the African Cup of Nations.
Does Gueye need to be dropped? 🤔

The veteran midfield has looked tired, so perhaps the old guard will be swapped out with the more youthful Harrison Armstrong.
