Martyn plays down Euro chances

NIGEL MARTYN insists talk of Champions League football has been banished from the Everton dressing room despite David Moyes’s side now being firm favourites to clinch a top four Premiership spot.

Everton’s emphatic 3-1 win at Aston Villa on Saturday, with the aid of two goals from Leon Osman, means they will enter the final quarter of the campaign eight points clear of Liverpool who have only one game in hand.

The Merseysiders continue to defy the doubters who are waiting for them to crack after the loss of first Wayne Rooney and then Thomas Gravesen.
