Everton's Nigeria striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni believes the Premier League side have enough quality to reach the UEFA Cup final.
"To play in Europe and to have not been beaten yet, and the fact that we have quality players, means that we can get in the final," he told the club's website.
"If we keep believing in ourselves and say that we want to be in the final, then I believe we can do it."
Everton face Serie A side Fiorentina in the first leg of their last-16 tie in Florence tomorrow.
Tevez the new Cantona - Ferguson
Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez is the present day equivalent of Old Trafford legend Eric Cantona, according to United manager Alex Ferguson.
Tevez has shown some of the goal-scoring characteristics of Frenchman Cantona.
"Carlos reminds me of Eric Cantona in the way that he has a knack of rising to the occasion with a goal just when it's needed," Ferguson said.
"He often comes up with the goods away from home when you are up against it. I don't think anything fazes him and he keeps his cool in the box."
Lampard red card rescinded
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has escaped a three-match ban after the English Football Association upheld an appeal against his red card in Saturday's 4-0 win over West Ham United.

"At a Regulatory Commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Chelsea's Frank Lampard was upheld," the FA said in a statement.

New contract for Ronaldo
Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has hinted Ronaldo will be offered a new contract if the 31-year-old Brazilian shows the will to return to playing following a serious knee injury that could sideline him for at least nine months.

Ronaldo's deal expires in June.

"Personally I want to achieve 20 goals next season," Santa Cruz said.
"I have chances to score in every game I play and not to score them is, of course, a little disappointing."
Moggi to opt for politics?

Disgraced after his involvement in the soccer scandal, Moggi claimed that "many people would be frightened and completely terrified" by the prospect of him in government.
The 70-year-old said: "If I were to enter politics 75 per cent of Juventini would vote for me."
