Everton boss Roberto Martinez admits they need to make history to qualify for the Champions League.
The Toffees climbed into the top four of the Barclays Premier League with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Sunderland on Saturday as they took advantage of Arsenal's presence in the FA Cup semi-finals.
Now on 66 points, Martinez said: "It's hard to tell, but I think it's quite clear that it's going to be the highest it's ever been in Premier League history.
"At this stage with 63 points, you are always guaranteed to finish top four. Now, clearly, one team is going to be out of that with that return.
"The way the competition is going, it's always harder now to win the title, there are always three or four football clubs, and I think it's the same for the fourth place and so on.
"I do think it's a bit of an unknown."
