Quartet gear up for final assault

Four teams, two Champions League places up for grabs.

The weekend results mean just six points separate Chelsea in third and Everton in sixth. Sunday was an opportunity missed for David Moyes’ side as Gylfi Sigurdsson’s late goal at White Hart Lane denied the Toffees — who have played a game less — a victory that would have reduced the gap between them and Tottenham to three points. Phil Jagielka scored Everton’s first goal in the 2-2 draw and the defender admits his side need favours from elsewhere to gatecrash the Champions League party.

“We know we need a lot of help from teams around us, either taking points off each other or a shock result coming in. But we’ll take that,” Jagielka said.
