Everton manager Roberto Martinez wary of Young Boys threat

Roberto Martinez admits that Everton will be up against tough opposition when they play Swiss side Young Boys in the last 32 of the Europa League.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez has admitted that his side will have to be at their best if they want to beat Young Boys in the last 32 of the Europa League.

The Toffees will travel to Switzerland for the first leg on February 19, while the second will be played at Goodison Park the following week.

Despite concerns over the artificial pitch at Young Boys's stadium, Martinez believes that the two sides will put on an entertaining tie.

"It is a really exciting draw. We were desperate to get the second leg at home - obviously, topping the group, we had," he is quoted as saying by Goal.com.

"I've seen Young Boys play a lot because I've always been interested to see how they adapt to playing on artificial turf. I do think that's going be something we need to adapt quickly. It's a completely different way to play."

Everton continued their Premier League campaign on Monday night with a 3-1 win at home to Queens Park Rangers.
