Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Roberto Martinez, Everton manager:
"Yes, obviously it is an exciting game from our point of view. As Everton we've got phenomenal away support. And we have been looking forward to this fixture for a long, long time. Tomorrow we could have got a lot more seats in our location in the away end. So you can imagine as players and staff we're really excited to perform well and make our fans really, really proud, because they know they are going to travel in big, big numbers - and that makes it a unique opportunity to create history for our football club."
SOUNDBITE (English) Roberto Martinez, Everton manager:
"Divock Origi is a well known player already in England, due to his role in the World Cup with Belgium. As you know, we've got very important players that play in Belgium - Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirales. And Divock Origi signed for our big neighbours and the big rival (Liverpool), so we know that in years to come he is going to have a big say in the Premier League and he is a very talented young man."
SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Howard, Everton goalkeeper:
"It always does. Everton supporters have always travelled very well, that is one thing that we get excited about as players, knowing that when we go away from home we have a large, large amount of support. So, yeah, it will be a very exciting when we see the blue and white in the stands cheering us on."
SOUNDBITE (English) Tim Howard, Everton goalkeeper:
"I don't know how it is balanced. You know, we are away from home and so I think it is always very tough on the away team, particularly in Europe. So, you know, I don't know who the underdogs are, I don't really think that actually matters in this match-up because both teams are fighting so hard for points - and I think we are very evenly matched to be honest."
