MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - The tight and unpredictable battle for Champions League places provides Everton and Manchester United with some extra motivation for their Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The top three places in the table look secure for Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester City, but the fourth spot, currently occupied by Chelsea, remains tantalisingly within reach for several clubs including Carlo Ancelotti's Everton and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's United.
Everton's Brazilian forward Richarlison says that the Champions League was a definite target for the team and remains so despite Sunday's 3-2 defeat at Arsenal. "But on Sunday we have another important game, against a direct rival for one of these positions, and we are going to give our all in this game to try and climb the table," he said.
“So it’s an ambition to get back into the Champions League – for footballing reasons and financially it’ll help the club," he said.
