Tottenham are just three points and a place outside the top four under Pochettino, following victories over Aston Villa and West Ham and draws against Arsenal and Chelsea in November.

And Martinez has presided over an unbeaten run with Everton, who scored an impressive 14 goals from four games, including a 6-2 win over Sunderland and 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa.
