It would be a remarkable achievement given the way they stumbled through the opening part of the campaign when a number of key personnel were injured. Since the turn of the year Everton have been one of the form sides, picking up 28 points from a possible 42. That string of good results has seen them move to eighth place in the table, four points behind Wednesday's opponents Aston Villa, who also have a match in hand. Asked if it was a must-win, Moyes said: "It probably is. We have to win our games if we are going to make Europe. "We have always been coming from behind. We had a poor start, the hard part was having three or four serious injuries, and we've been playing catch up. We have done a pretty good job. "We still have a chance of a European spot but we need to overhaul Aston Villa. It is important and we would like to be there. "We will do everything we can. We might need other people to help us out but if we don't do our job, it does not matter. "The players are making a decent fist of it and have done well to get us into this position." Influential midfielder Mikel Arteta will sit out the match as he has failed to recover from the groin strain that caused him to miss the draw with West Ham in their last outing. Victor Anichebe remains absent with a hip injury but Joseph Yobo returns to the squad following a back problem. Moyes could be tempted to name an unchanged side and even if Everton make it into Europe for a third successive year - they went out in the round of the last 32 to Sporting Lisbon this season - he will not make big changes. He intends to tinker with his playing pool and not make radical alterations in the summer. He said: "With a fully fit squad we feel we are close to competing with the top teams. We have shown that on several occasions this year. "We have a really good group. I don't think we will be adding many players, maybe one or two." Even though Villa were knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea on Saturday, Moyes expects a difficult game from Martin O'Neill's side. He added: "Villa were a bit unfortunate in a way to lose. They were as good as Chelsea up until 65-70 minutes and will be disappointed the way the game ended. "Martin has a really good team, who will always score goals because of the way they play."
