Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti believes getting into the top four this week could be psychologically important for his players and said qualifying for the Champions League would be a 'dream'.
The 1-0 win over Southampton, courtesy of Richarlison's third league goal in as many games inside the first 10 minutes, moved his side within two points of fourth-placed West Ham with a match in hand.
They could go move above the Hammers on Thursday with a win at struggling West Brom, with rivals Liverpool hosting Chelsea at Anfield later in the evening.
