More from Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "The only target we have got is to fight for every single point we still have to play for. 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 manger Roberto Martinez has some team news ahead of this weekend's game at Swansea.

"Aiden McGeady is carrying a bit of pain in his back and I think Saturday is too early for him", he says.

Martinez also rules out Bryan Oviedo and Tony Hibbert, while Romelu Lukaku is rated "50-50".

We're also waiting to hear from Everton boss Roberto Martinez first thing this morning.

Can Arsenal really win the Premier League title? You expect manager Arsene Wenger will get quizzed about that by the media this morning ahead of Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Would FA Cup glory make for a successful season at Liverpool?

That's the question posed by our chief football writer Phil McNulty this morning.

"The clouds that gathered over Liverpool and manager Brendan Rodgers after successive Premier League losses to Manchester United and Arsenal were lifted by a victory at Blackburn Rovers that takes them to Wembley", he says.

"As the Reds' hopes of a top-four finish and a place in next season's Champions League recede, so the significance of the FA Cup increases as a route to success - and the 1-0 quarter-final replay win at Ewood Park sets up a last-four meeting with Aston Villa."

Former England captain Michael Vaughan says he is "more than open" to a role with English cricket's governing body following the departure of managing director Paul Downton.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) says it is "restructuring" and has created a new role of director of England cricket to replace Downton.

Asked about the role, Vaughan told BBC Radio 5 live: "I am certainly one of the few who would have the phone ready to have a conversation - whether in this role, another role or a forward-thinking visionary trying to move English cricket forward."

Englishwoman Evans, 29, is a 10-time ladies' champion. The winner must make it through two more qualifying rounds to reach the main draw, which starts on 18 April.
