Everton have six games left to rack up enough points to secure a return to European competition.
Carlo Ancelotti believes that finishing with 64 points - in what would be the club's third highest Premier League points return - will grant the Blues their wish
Everton currently sit in eighth in the table on 52 points with six games left and here we explain how many teams qualify for each Euro competition next season from the Premier League.
Champions League
Usually, the top four sides in the Premier League will qualify for the Champions League.
As it stands, that would be champions-in-waiting Manchester City, Man United, Leicester City and Chelsea.
England gets a maximum of five spaces in the Champions League and could end up taking those slots if one, or both, of Chelsea or Arsenal win the Champions League and Europa League and don't qualify through their league position. Both teams are in the semi-finals.
Should both teams win those competitions and finish outside of the top four, then only the top three sides in the league would go into the Champions League and the other two spots given to Chelsea and Arsenal.
The fourth placed team would drop into the Europa League.
What about Everton? Everton's win over Arsenal on Friday night means they are six points off the top four. But the Blues have a game in hand on those sides above them and so they remain in the conversation with six games to go.
Europa League
The Premier League only gets two Europa League places this season due to the creation of the Europa Conference League.
The FA Cup winners - Chelsea and Leicester are in May's final - take one of the places while the team finishing fifth take the other.
But if the FA Cup winners finish inside the top five, as looks likely, then Europa League qualification drops to sixth place.
But England's Europa League quota would drop to one place if either Chelsea or Arsenal win a European competition and qualify for the Europa League through their league position.
What about Everton? This is where it starts getting a little complicated for the Blues.
The ideal scenario is for Everton to finish inside the top four and, at worst, only one of Chelsea and Arsenal win the Champions League and Europa League.
But if Carlo Ancelotti can't secure a top four finish then FA Cup finalists Chelsea and Leicester both finishing in the top five would grant the team in sixth Europa League qualification.
Europa Conference League
The winners of the Carabao Cup go into Uefa's new third-tier European competition next season.
Manchester City saw off Spurs 1-0 at Wembley on Sunday and so given they will be in the Champions League next season, they don't need the place.
So that, theoretically, means that seventh place could be handed that route into the Europa Conference League play-offs.
What about Everton? Currently in eighth, but with a game in hand, the Blues know a seventh placed finish could be enough for a spot in the newly created competition.
If the Blues can't finish inside the top four this season then Chelsea and Leicester, the FA Cup finalists, finishing in the top five works in Everton's favour. But in that situation Ancelotti's side would have to finish at least seventh to qualify for European competition.
Everton have six games left and so winning their game in hand on their rivals, and beating West Ham, are already looking like the key fixtures.
The Blues secured one of the five victories Ancelotti believes are needed, on Friday night at the Emirates.
