With less than three months left of the season, Roberto Martinez is unnervingly relaxed about the club's league positon going into the final games of the season. The Latics boss has spoken ahead of this weekend's crucial away trip to Eastlands to face an in-form Manchester City side. With his team propping up the rest of the Barclays Premier League, Roberto Martinez was unnervingly calm as he spoke to the media about the prospects of survial. "We have 10 games left and we want to get as many points as we can from that block," said Martinez. "Looking at the situation we're in, it's not just about getting a good result. "It's about getting back-to-back results to get out of trouble. That's why it's important to perform well at Manchester City in a manner that will allow us to be competitive, and generate some positivity to take into the nine matches that follow." The Latics are set to be at full strength for the fixture with only Emmerson Boyce a doubt. The Barbadian defending is on the road to recovery after suffering a reccurence of the hamstring injury that has seen him miss a large portion of the season. CLICK HERE FOR THE MESSAGEBOARD
