Blues supporters displayed banners calling for Martinez to go as their side drew 1-1 at Watford last Saturday.

But the Everton boss insists he still has the full support of the board – and it is understood his position is not currently under threat.

Any review of events at Goodison Park this season will not take place until the end of the campaign, with the club still aiming for FA Cup glory.

But Martinez will get to outline his plans for the future at a meeting later this week, once tonight’s clash with Crystal Palace is out of the way.

Reports in Spain suggest the Everton boss is on Valencia’s radar should they fail to land Manuel Pellegrini.

But it is understood Martinez is fully committed to Everton and keen to start planning for next season.

Martinez, who was also confronted by a young fan at an under-21 game on Monday night, said: “I think the board is doing a great job and the fans have been incredible.

“I understand them completely. The passion they share is what drives us to be better and achieve perfection if anything.

“But now is the most significant moment of the campaign and we need to be a unit together, and help each other to achieve.

“And then at the end of the season we will all share the disappointment and the happiness and we will assess the situation.”

Phil Jagielka is out tonight and is also set to miss next Wednesday’s Merseyside derby, but could return in time for the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United or West Ham.
