Everton boss Roberto Martinez is looking at three wins from their final three matches to secure Champions League football despite Arsenal holding the advantage. "I think it is fair to say, just looking at the last 15 years or so, fourth place is well below 76 points," said the Spaniard, whose side currently have 69 points.
"There has only been one season where you have needed 76 points for that (fourth) and on average it's always been a lot less points.
"You don't go far wrong when you look at the points tally. We are well aware anything around 72 to 75 points is Champions League football so we are desperate to try to make sure we get that.
"It doesn't matter who you are playing against or who you are fighting against to get into that fourth spot it's always the points tally that matters.
"I will go as far to say if you get nine points and you don't get into the Champions League, you can be proud and very happy any way.
"That's the target we are giving ourselves - how many points we can get from now until the end of the season.
"We have to make sure that we are fresh, we have recovered and look at every game as a unique opportunity to show what we can do."
