Everton boss Roberto Martinez believes that it is "just a matter of time" for Tottenham Hotspur in their pursuit of Champions League qualification.

Martinez, whose Everton side are making a push for the top four this year, has revealed his admiration for Spurs ahead of their Premier League clash tomorrow.

"I really admire this Spurs side. I think they've got a really talented squad," Martinez is quoted as saying by the Belfast Telegraph.

"They're a team that are fighting to get into the Champions League positions and I do think that they're going to be a really dangerous side as the new manager and players are getting used to the way they want to play.

"Every aspect of this Spurs side has been tailor-made to get into the Champions League. It's just a matter of time and they will get there consistently."

Both sides sit together on 17 points from 12 games.
