Everton’s play under new manager Roberto Martinez is rather more enterprising than under David Moyes last season, with the Spaniard having them proactively win the ball back in the opposition half.
It is an approach that is working well at both ends of the pitch, with only Chelsea having conceded fewer goals than the Toffees.
