Jamie Redknapp: Roberto Martinez combines flair and resolve at Everton

Image: Martinez: Has Everton playing his way, says Jamie Redknapp

I've been very impressed with Everton this season.

There's no question, the Europa League games have hindered them, with the extra matches disrupting their preparation for their Premier League games, but their home form has been poor, too, with them winning just two of their eight games at the Liberty Stadium so far. It seems that, despite the club spending quite a bit of money in the summer, the drop-off in performance they experienced after winning last season's Capital One Cup has continued into this season as well. Jamie's backing Swansea and Everton to draw 1-1 - at 11/2. Bet now They've got a break in their Europa League schedule now which gives them a chance to try and turn what has been a disappointing season around and I reckon they could kick that off this weekend by holding a very good Everton side to a 1-1 draw. Although Swansea have been far from their best this season they rarely look like they are going to get beaten by a significant margin and, with their old boss in town, they'll be determined to put on a performance.
