Everton v Liverpool: Roberto Martinez says derby is 'strong test'

Everton manager Roberto Martinez believes the match against Liverpool on Saturday will be a "strong test" for his side.

The Toffees are unbeaten at Goodison Park in 2013 and Martinez is relishing the prospect of his first Merseyside derby, saying the tie is "unique" and that it "shouldn't be compared" to any other in world football.

Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League, with rivals Everton only three points behind in sixth place in the table.
