A roar goes round Goodison Park. We're under way.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez speaking to ITV: "It's been an incredible experience for us as a football club to travel different countries and show what we are as a club and a team. It's bringing memories back of all those journeys we had in the past in Europe.

"I think the last 16 teams left, the level is fantastic. There's huge quality in those sides. The big aspect of Dynamo Kiev is the winning mentality they have. When you are ahead of teams like Shakhtar in the league, it shows what they have. It's a very, very strong unit that carries that winning mentality and it's going to be a big test."

Rian Hoskins:, external Everton must watch out for Yarmolenko. Very tricky winger with a good strike on him. He and Miguel Veloso are their danger men.

Graham Roberts:, external Everton will not get past Kiev. Results in Europe so far have been OK, but Lille are poor, and Krasnodar nearly beat them twice.

Jan11zaj:, external The managers: Pellegrini messed his tactics up with 4-4-2, Jose Mourinho too defensive against 10 men, and Wenger being Wenger.

What's gone wrong with English clubs in Europe? If Everton go on and win the Europa League will that be a decent return for the Premier League? Have top-flight clubs under-performed on the continental stage this stage and why?

It's full-time in the 18:00 GMT kick-offs around Europe and a second-half brace from former Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne helped German side Wolfsburg fight back from going a goal down after five minutes at the Volkswagen Arena to secure a 3-1 win against Italian visitors Inter Milan.

There was another fight back in Belgium, where a Tom De Sutter strike and Lior Rafaelov's penalty cancelled out Gokhan Tore's opener for Turkish side Beskitas to earn a 2-1 win for Club Brugge.

Meanwhile, Roman Zozulya's left-footed strike was enough to give Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk a 1-0 win against Dutch champions Ajax in Ukraine.

Fancy watching Everton for £1? It sounds a bargain but there is a catch. The match takes place in conflict-hit Ukraine.

The Toffees have been handed an initial allocation of 1,500 tickets, external for the second leg away to Dynamo Kiev on 19 March. Yet cheap tickets may still not be enough to lure Toffee fans following violence from Dynamo fans in their win against Guingamp in the previous round.

Kiev, have been ordered to partially close their stadium for the visit of Roberto Martinez's side after fans invaded the pitch and clashed with security staff. The Ukrainian Premier League club were also fined £51,000 after the crowd trouble caused the game to be briefly halted.

Everton have scored just three times in their last seven Premier League games. In Europe, however, it's a different story. Seventeen in eight Europa League ties.

Todos, London: I think Dynamo Kiev are being underestimated, they are the only unbeaten team domestically in the 10 top European leagues. Yarmolenko will be the difference tonight.

Baz, Cumbria: All this talk of English clubs in Europe. Foreign owners, managers and players.

Everton will be hoping for a different outcome than the last time they reached the last 16 of Europe's second-tier competition. It all ended in tears in 2008 for David Moyes's men as they lost to Italian side Fiorentina on penalties.

Goals by Andrew Johnson and Mikel Arteta drew the tie level as Everton dominated the tie throughout. But Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey produced a string of brilliant saves to keep the Toffees at bay.

It might have been seven years ago but there are still plenty of players around Goodison Park who recall that dramatic night. Tim Howard, Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar and Leon Osman all started while Tony Hibbert and Leighton Baines were on the bench.

He works for one of the most loyal boardrooms in English football, but Roberto Martinez accepts his position will be the subject of intense focus until results improve.

It is only two years ago since the Toffees boss experienced relegation and winning the FA Cup with Wigan.

"For us as a football club, the position we are in is unacceptable," adds Martinez., external "At the end of the season, we need to look at why it has happened. But for the time being, we need to show a real desire to win. The team is performing in a manner that we should have got more points. But the reality is we have got 28 points. Now every game is a final."

Freddy Howardinho:, external Maybe the Martinez passing style works well against European teams but is relegation fodder in the Premier League?

Harry Clark:, external Not good enough. Man City can be forgiven, Barca are a force. Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea should be doing SO much better.

German hosts Wolfsburg have capitalised on a mistake from Inter Milan goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo to take a 2-1 lead against the Italian visitors. Vierinha pounced on a miscued clearance before squaring the ball for former Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne to tap home.

Meanwhile, Tom De Sutter has hit back for Club Brugge - diverting in Felipe Gedoz's low 25-yard shot - to cancel out Gokhan Tore's opener for Beskitas to make it 1-1 in Belgium.

Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk lead 1-0 against Dutch champions Ajax.

Steven Naismith says Everton's players have more than a place in the Europa League quarter-finals on their minds - they're also playing for their futures. With the club fighting to stay in the Premier League, forward Naismith says the team faces an uncertain future., external

"This club is ambitious and wants to go forward and I'm sure the manager will look for a replacement to do the job he wants done if you're not doing it," said the Scotland international. "Without a doubt, people are playing for their futures. If you are not performing then you are not going to be here very long.

"The biggest motivation of all is personal pride. You don't want to be in a team that is struggling to perform every week."

Remember Sergei Rebrov?

The Dynamo Kiev boss is no stranger to these shores having turned out for both Tottenham and West Ham as a striker during his playing days. Now aged 40, Rebrov is in his first managerial job having taken charge of Kiev, the club he won nine league title with as a player, last May.

Asked if he still takes an interest in his former clubs, Rebrov said: 'Of course I am still following Tottenham, West Ham - all the teams I played for. I'm glad because I think Tottenham are getting better. Harry Kane is a very good forward, scoring not just lots but some very important goals.

'I'm also very pleased for my good friend Tim Sherwood (his former Tottenham team-mate), who is doing a good job as Aston Villa manager."

It is not only the Premier League in a state of shock after a dramatic night of Champions League action. At the same time Chelsea were going out to Paris St-Germain, Ukraine's defending champions Shakhtar Donetsk were being humiliated 7-0 at Bayern Munich.

No wonder Everton and Dynamo Kiev are both keen to restore some national pride this evening.
