Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Everton and Swansea City. The first-division clash scheduled for 11 a.m. ET will be held at Goodison Park in Liverpool and can be live streamed here free.
Everton enters today's match sitting sixth in the Premier League table with 51 points. A nine-point deficit prevents the club from participating in the UEFA Champions League next season, but that hasn't kept manager Roberto Martinez from believing his side can challenge for a top four spot (h/t to the Guardian). "We need to find a way to challenge and I think the youth we've got in this squad, as long as we keep it and keep developing it, is going to be the unknown quantity that will allow us to challenge the other sides who've got bigger finances," Martinez said.
"I don't think lack of finances will stop us from challenging the top four," he added.
"There is a way with the quality we've got at the club to bridge that gap but a lot is going to come down to how well we can do in the next 10 games because there's a point when you have to master what you're good at."
