Everton boss Roberto Martinez: "We're in a confident position"

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believe that his team are in a "confident position" heading into the final seven games of the Premier League season.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has insisted that his team want to finish the season "strongly" after steering themselves away from relegation.

The Merseyside outfit were lingering dangerously towards the bottom three in the Premier League, but after three wins on the bounce, the club are now 12th in the table.

On Saturday, Martinez and his team will travel to the Spaniard's former club Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium.

"The only target we have got is to fight for every single point we still have to play for," Martinez said in this morning's press conference. "We are in a confident position, which is really important.

"The group are enjoying their games, we have another four to play at Goodison Park, and we want to finish strongly at home, but against Swansea, we have a good opportunity to test ourselves.

"We want to get as many wins as we can in the final third of the season, because every point you play for, every position in the table matters."

Everton have seven games remaining in their campaign.
