Martinez's top-four pledge on the line against Arsenal

Sunday's huge clash with Arsenal and the potential implications for the race for the top four is the premise for this piece by Andy Hunter in The Guardian but, as ever, it's the analysis of what Roberto Martinez has brought to Everton this season and the opinions of him from his players and other people in the game that are the most interesting.

Seamus Coleman says of his boss:

The previous manager (David Moyes) was brilliant with me and helped me massively. Roberto has helped me massively too, like with the positions I should take up when I don't have the ball. I'm learning as much as everyone else from him.

He showed me on a laptop [at half time on the opening day at Norwich] that if I ran off the back of the winger there would be a chance that I could get in at the back post for a tap-in, and that's exactly what happened.

Roberto helped me to get that goal. I had full confidence in him after that!
