David Moyes says it is inevitable that Manchester City will be challenging at the top end of the table.
The Everton chief takes his side to Eastlands on Monday evening, a match you can see live on Sky Sports.
And Moyes admits that although money is not the answer, it will always have an impact.
"Money isn't always the answer but if you are going to win things you have to spend money," he said.
"If you want a quick return to overtake the Manchester Uniteds and Chelseas of this world, you are going to have to spend good money to get there.
"But even that isn't guaranteed. There is a time of bedding in and there will be people who have to go and you'll have to bring more people in.
"It takes time to get it all to happen. I don't think you can do it that quickly but I think Manchester City are getting themselves in a position at the right end of the table for what they are spending.
"They will probably hope to see some rewards for it."
Record
Everton are currently sitting just two-points above the bottom-three - but they have performed well against the likes of Manchester United, Spurs and Chelsea and Moyes hopes they will continue that sort of form against City.
"We think we have done well against some of the sides that are seen as the top teams in the league," he said.
"It is difficult that when we have come to play teams we should be beating we have not been able to do that.
"That's a little bit the way it's been this year but our record against the better teams has been quite good.
"We have also had one or two good results away from home and we will try to keep that going."
