Everton may be languishing in the bottom half of the Premier League table but that didn't stop nearly 4,000 staunch supporters turning out to watch an open training session at Goodison Park on Tuesday. The Toffees held the event to coincide with the school half-term holiday as they prepare to face Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off. Fans were invited to watch Roberto Martinez put his players through their paces for free, while John Stones and Aaron Lennon also stuck around for a meet-and-greet session at the club's megastore.

Midfielders Aaron Lennon and Leon Osman appeared in particularly high spirits as the Blues continued their preparation for Saturday's clash with Garry Monk's side. Romelu Lukaku did not take part in the session but Martinez has confirmed that the Belgium striker does have a chance of being fit for the weekend after missing the 1-0 win against Southampton with a hamstring injury picked up against QPR. Saturday's narrow win over Saints was Everton's third consecutive triumph in the league - a run of form which has moved them 11 points clear of the relegation zone and virtually assured top-flight safety.

The Toffees were six games into a seven-game winning streak exactly a year ago and Gareth Barry - who returned from suspension against Ronald Koeman's side - wants to emulate that run. Speaking to evertontv, Barry said: 'We've got a nice little run going at the minute and we'll try to keep that going for as long as possible. 'I think we showed last year that we're capable of going on runs like this. We won seven in a row, so if we want to try and keep winning, that's got to be our target. 'There are some tough games coming up, starting at Swansea, but the confidence is growing and the form is coming back.'
