Everton skipper Phil Neville believes it is time the side started to pick up wins at the homes of the top four.
After going down against ten man Liverpool at the weekend Everton now face home clashes with Chelsea and Manchester United but it is away from Goodison Park that Neville believes they should start picking up wins.
"We need to start winning away to top four sides," he told the Post
"We had an unbelievable opportunity at Arsenal and threw it away in the last minute and this was another chance. We've gone to top sides and got draws but want the next step now.
"We're getting more belief we can come to places like this and win, though. The gap (between Liverpool and Everton) has been closing for a couple of seasons and our performances have definitely been getting better.
"We seemed so near, but the final step is always the hardest and it's one we are striving for. I don't think it is a psychological thing, we just needed that bit of quality. "
