Phil Neville says Everton should now be praised for the standard of football they play not just their determination.

As the Blues prepare for the trip to Wolves on Saturday they boast an unbeaten record in the month of March, notching up 11 goals in four outings.

"You can talk about the sprit and the togetherness at Everton but I think people also need to start talking about the quality of football here now," Neville said. 

"The spirit and determination has always been here but I think we deserve more credit now for the quality of football we are playing.

"We are on a run of form at the moment that means we believe we can beat anyone who steps in our way," he added.

With seven games left this season, the Blues find themselves currently eighth in the table just three points off Liverpool and Aston Villa who are sixth and seventh respectively.

Everton are the in-form team in the Premier League following their wins over Hull City, Bolton Wanderers and Manchester City.

The Club captain says all the players believe they can still qualify for Europe next season if they remain focused.

"The push is definitely on for a European place," Neville said.  "The manager is challenging us everyday and people think Everton will peter out now but that is not the case. 

"The manager is forever throwing down the gauntlet and we are ready for the challenge."
