What They're Saying
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via UEFA): "We're at that stage of the season where everything is vital. It has been a lot of football, a lot of effort, a lot of good work in this competition and now we need to focus. Dynamo Kiev are a very, very strong side, unbeaten in the league. The way they have been playing this season, they are going to give us a really interesting test. We have been reaching a high level of performance [in Europe]. We've been facing top teams and it's not like we've been sneaking through."
Dynamo Kiev manager Serhiy Rebrov: "I'm always watching the Premier League. Here when you play, all teams are always working on the pitch like crazy and if not the supporters will tell them. That's the difference between the Premier League and other championships."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Everton's Ross Barkley has experienced a drop in form this campaign. In 22 appearances across all competitions, the 21-year-old has just one goal and two assists. He'll look to rectify that today.
