Charlie Nicholas believes Roberto Martinezs need for victory in the FA Cup semi-final is greater than Louis van Gaals - but fears for both managers futures. The Everton boss is under increasing pressure after seeing his side thumped 4-0 by local rivals Liverpool, a result which leaves them without a win in seven Premier League games and on course for a second successive bottom-half finish.If he loses this semi-final, then the calls for him to go are only going to get louder, Nicholas told Sky Sports. Charlies Sky Bet tips Find out what Charlie is predicting for Everton v Man Utd here. Roberto Martinez saw his Everton side lose 4-0 to rivals Liverpool on Wednesday Martinez is a very good coach but hes not admitted that this team is underachieving and it pains me to say it I think the owners will be actively seeking change.The Goodison Park faithful were looking forward to a summer of investment following Farhad Moshiris 49.9 per cent purchase of the clubs shares, but Nicholas feels that is unlikely with Martinez at the helm. Everton fans have protested against their manager after a disappointing season He added: I think that the concern will be why should they invest money in the club when the manager isnt getting the best out of his current squad?Bill Kenwright has done a fantastic job as chairman and would love to keep Martinez, but the investors will be asking whether theyll be giving their money to the right man to spend. Theyve already got a strong squad and its not working. Everton manager Roberto Martinez refused to talk about his future at the club Meanwhile, the Soccer Saturday pundit believes Van Gaals future will be decided by his ability to get United into the top four rather than winning the FA Cup.With just four league games to go, United are two points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and hold a vastly inferior goal difference. Louis van Gaals future could hinge on whether Man Utd clinch a top-four spot, thinks Charlie Nicholas Is the FA Cup enough? I would say no, said Nicholas. United have to be in the Champions League. Its not even about the prize money, its the prestige of being there. If I asked United fans if they want FA Cup or top four I think most would say top four. They want to be back in the Champions League. If David Moyes can get sacked after nine months for not managing it, then youve got to think they will be looking at Jose Mourinho or even the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Slaven Bilic and Ronald Koeman. Louis van Gaal believes Manchester Uniteds latest win over Crystal Palace keeps them in with a chance of clinching a top four spot The timing of PSGs reported move for Mourinho is interesting because United cant afford to be seen to make an announcement as they need to put their focus into securing a top-four finish.Nicholas expects Van Gaal to prevail on Saturday, backing a 1-0 victory for United in his Sky Bet tips.He added: I think it will be tense and I think Everton will be too worried about making mistakes to play well.Ive done a heck of a lot of United games this season and, while Ive rarely been impressed by them, theyve built some momentum with three successive wins, which started by a good display against West Ham.

A look at some of the highlights from Tuesdays schedule in the Las Vegas Summer League:LYLES SHINESUtah Jazz forward Trey Lyles has been a standout in the summer league, and he continued his excellence in a 92-89 loss to Portland. Lyles had 30 points and nine rebounds and hit 5 of 7 3-point attempts. Lyles tipped in a rebound at the buzzer of the first overtime to force a second OT. As a rookie last season, the 6-foot-10 Lyles hit 38 percent from 3-point range.SUDDEN DEATHThe Jazz-Blazers game was the first to utilize the next shot wins rule in summer league. In the second OT in Vegas, the game ends on the first made shot by either team. The Jazz won the tip but turned the ball over and Pat Connaughton buried a 3-pointer on the other end to give Portland the win.SIMMONS SHOOTINGPhiladelphias Ben Simmons had another quiet night offensively, scoring just eight points on 3-for-8 shooting in an 85-77 loss to the Golden State Warriors. The No. 1 overall pick has been in a pass-first mode all week and coach Brett Brown has hinted at the possibility of using him at point guard once the season begins. One of the few holes in Simmons game is his shooting, and opponents in summer league are already laying off him to try to make it harder for Simmons to get to the rim.
