Everton and Manchester United have not looked top four material until now

The teams in action at Goodison Park have spent £200 million combined on summer transfers and yet they have not looked as they can challenge the free-flowing teams like Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool. Both the teams are mid-table right now and will be there for a will as the gap has widened between the top five sides and the pretenders.

United have the most expensive player at their helm and Everton have an exciting squad at Koeman's disposal but it has not worked out yet for both the teams. This game which ended all square reflected just why the both teams are so behind the trendsetters of this season and also as to why both teams will struggle to challenge them.
