Roberto Martinez believes a total of 71 points will be enough to take Everton to the Champions League, reports the Telegraph.

The Spaniard has been busy calculating the amount of points he believes his side will need to reach their objective, and hopes they will take an average of 1.94 points from their final 11 games of the season, in the hope that they will have already accumulated 50 points.

Martinez takes his side to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United tonight, and claims he would rather see his team play attractive attacking football against the Champions and lose, than be negative and play poorly and get a result.

“To get into the Champions League, I can guarantee what you need to do is get an average of 1.94 points from the last 11 games,” said Martínez.
