Conor Coady has stressed Everton cannot afford to find themselves in a relegation battle for the third season in succession next year.
Avoiding the drop on the final day of the Premier League season, the Blues had Abdoulaye Doucoure to thank after his stunning second half goal secured three points and survival status.
Sean Dyche's side will not wish to be part of another campaign filled with such tension next term, after the stressful experiences of 2021/22 and now 2022/23, and Coady has made clear it is down to those at the club to put a stop to Everton's continued slide down the division.
