'They will be up there': Liverpool warned about Everton's title ambitions

Speaking to talkSPORT, Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend said: "Everton spend money every year but they seem to start very slowly and build as the year goes on.

"But they've got a world class manager and he's got his signings who seem to have hit the ground running. I think they'll be right up there come the end of the season."

Everton are currently top of the Premier League table with 12 points after 4 games, scoring 12 goals and conceding 5.

Liverpool face the Toffees away at Goodison Park in the Premier League this Saturday on the back of the shocking 7-2 defeat against Aston Villa.
