Ronald Koeman feels he would be perceived as "crazy" if he were to suggest Everton can challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The Toffees have made their best start to a campaign since 1978 under their new boss Koeman, winning four and drawing the other of their first five league fixtures to sit second in the table.
Prior to Saturday's 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough, Koeman had said that while he was targeting European football for the club, the idea of them challenging for a Champions League spot this term was unrealistic.
And when the Dutchman was asked on Monday if Everton could emulate Leicester's achievement from last season by pulling off a surprise title triumph themselves this time around, he gave a similar response.
