Everton midfielder Phil Neville has revealed that manager David Moyes set them a target of challenging for a top-four position in the Premier League at Christmas.

The Toffees are currently in sixth position in the Premier League table, two points away from fourth place, and the 35-year-old believes that his side are capable of moving further up the table.

Neville told Sky Sports News: "I think we are doing really well. I think next week, when we play Wigan, is the turn of the year, is the halfway point, and if we can be in fifth or fourth position, that's where we wanted to be at the start of the season.

"That's the goal that the manager set us, be in the top four or be in and around the top four by the time we get to Christmas.

"After Christmas, that's where the league takes shape and we normally come good after Christmas. The second half of the season is where go up a couple of gears and I still think there is more to come from the team."
