After a quiet start to the summer, Martinez makes four signings: Antolin Alcaraz, James McCarthy, Maarten Martens and Emmanuel Emenike
The new-look side takes to the field against Norwich City on 17th August. A goal is conceded inside 4 minutes as Norwich dominate the first half and Everton struggle to gel. A late goal from Steven Pienaar gives Everton a share of the spoils.
A midweek game in the Carling Cup follows, and Everton destroy league one Coventry 3-0 at Goodison Park.
The following week, Martinez' first home game against West Bromwich Albion is a different affair entirely. Buoyed by the home crowd, Everton cruise to a 3-1 win, with Emenike scoring his first goal for Everton.
Another draw follows at Cardiff prior to the international break.
The next four games prove difficult:
Chelsea (H) 0-1
West Ham (A) 2-2
Newcastle (H) 1-1
Man City (A) 1-3
On a brighter note, Everton beat Martinez' old side Wigan 1-0 at the DW stadium in Round 4 of the league cup.
Everton briefly return to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Hull at GP. The fifth round of the league cup sees the blues travel to Stamford Bridge and meekly bow out with a 2-0 defeat to Mourinho's men.
Draws at Villa and at home to Spurs follow before Everton put in their worst performance for a long time at Selhurst Park, losing 2-0 to the Eagles and prompting isolated calls for the head of Martinez.
With two weeks to reflect on that defeat, Everton are psyched up for the 220th Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, at 1.30 on the 24th Novemeber under Sky's ruthless cameras.
It is all out war, but without Suarez, Liverpool struggle to break through regularly, and Everton's poor finishing ensures that it ends 0-0. Sky then flashes over to the 4pm kick off between Man City and Spurs.
Everton beat Stoke 2-1 at Goodison Park the following week in a feisty, ill-tempered affair before the long-awaited clash between Manchester Utd and Everton at Old Trafford, and Moyes' first game against his old club.
True to form, Everton are beaten at Old Trafford thanks to a late goal from Robin van Persie. A draw then follows at the Emirates, leaving Everton 14th and in dire need of a boost. They duly get it....
Everton beat Fulham 2-0 at Goodison with a brace of classy goals from Kevin Mirallas. This is followed up by the first home win in nearly 12 months, 1-0 at Swansea thanks to a late strike from Leon Osman. A comfortable 3-1 win on Boxing day against Sunderland lifts Everton into 8th spot.
However, the joy is short lived. Southampton visit Goodison Park and score early on through Morgan Schneiderlin. Try as Everton might, they just cannot breach the Southampton defence despite dominating the entire game. The saints win 1-0, and claim their first GP success since 1997.
A dour 0-0 draw at Stoke rings in the new year before the 3rd round of the FA Cup. Everton have drawn Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow and duly win 2-0, drawing Swansea at home in the 4th round.

Everton's tie with Swansea sees the blues win 2-1. The fifth round sees a trip to Blackburn Rovers.

Everton again draw with Villa (1-1) and at Spurs (0-0), before hosting Crystal Palace in midweek. The blues atone for their humbling at Selhurst earlier in the season and romp home 4-1 with some impressive football.
On the 15th February Everton draw 0-0 at Ewood Park, setting up a Goodison Park replay on 25th February. More interestingly though, the winners are due to play a home tie against Liverpool in the quarter final.
Everton travel to Stamford Bridge once more and this time come away with a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw. In the replay against Blackburn, the Toffees win 4-0 and cruise through to the quarter final - a Goodison derby against Liverpool.
March proves a much more fruitful affair in the league, with three wins against West Ham, Newcastle and and Swansea, and a point to battling Cardiff. The good form is brought to an abrupt end with a 2-1 defeat at Fulham.

In the rearranged match on 23rd April, David Moyes returns to Goodison Park for the first time as Manchester Utd manager.
After United take an early lead, a floodlit Goodison starts rocking, with a most intimidating atmosphere. On the stroke of half time, Jagielka heads home from a corner to send Goodison into raptures.
Everton turn on the style in the second half, and Victor Anichebe scores the winner inside the final minutes to give the blues an historic 2-1 success over the Red Devils and all but return the league title to Eastlands.
