(Reuters) - Middlesbrough have the quality to thrive in the Premier League and it is only a matter of time before they return to the top flight, Everton manager Roberto Martinez has said.

Everton take on the second tier side in their Capital One (League) Cup quarter-final later on Tuesday and Martinez is expecting a tough test from the side who are second in the table, having narrowly missed out on promotion last season.
