Everton boss Roberto Martinez says the focus is only ending this season in the best possible way.

Everton take on Southampton this weekend as they look to pull themselves further away from the bottom three.

And Martinez insists he hasn't started thinking about next season.

"Would be a big mistake to start thinking of that yet," he said.

"We have 24 points to fight for and will be very significant in terms of what we want to do to get stronger, then it's making sure we finish as high as we can to get the momentum we had last season."
