SOUNDBITE (English) Roberto Martinez, Everton manager (on previous meetings with Manchester United)

" There are many different good moments against Manchester United, last season we managed to get the two wins, something that didn't happen since the time of Harry Catterick in charge. I think we face a Manchester United side that are in the best moment of their season. I do feel we were a little bit hard done by when we faced them at Old Trafford, we felt the way we finished that game we deserved a little bit better. I thought, David De Gea had two world class saves on Bryan Oviedo and Leon Osman, and I think now we going to be fighting again with two teams in a very good moment of form."

SOUNDBITE (English) Roberto Martinez, Everton manager (on why Everton are having such a good run of form now)

"I would say a combination of aspects. I do feel that in the turn of the year, January, we got used to playing in Europe and being able to come with the demands of the Premier League. I do feel that five games ago we had to face a really strong challenge, we had 28 points and we had to win football games, and I think the reaction from the team was exceptional in that respect. Obviously four wins and a draw, and I feel we were very unfortunate in that draw, shows you firstly that we're in a good moment of form, secondly we have a lot of competition for places, and that helps the level of the team and thirdly we have learnt tough lessons this season."
