Kendall backs Everton to secure Champions League place

FORMER Everton manager Howard Kendall has backed the club to claim a Champions League place and believes David Moyes has put the foundations in place to bring back the glory days to Goodison Park.

Not since Kendall's first spell in charge have the club held a 12-point advantage over city rivals Liverpool, and they are second in the Premiership with just Chelsea above them.

Now Kendall believes the collective spirit and managerial acumen of Moyes will make them trophy challengers for years to come.
