Jose Mourinho knows how important the next nine days are for Tottenham Hotspur.
The Spurs boss has Everton and Southampton in the Premier League before a cup final match against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.
In the league, they can keep their fight for a top four place alive with two wins but equally important is keeping the side fit and fresh when they go to Wembley as they look to find their first trophy since 2008.
He said: "Yeah but independent of the result at Goodison, and the result against Southampton, as you say, big nine days and the nine days are going to end with a cup final. Which of course, for all of us, is going to be an important moment.
"So we are not depending on the Goodison result to go to that final with the best spirit, with the best feelings. But in this moment, the final is still a little bit far. And of course the Goodison match is very important. The distance between the two teams is very, very short. Of course they have one match in hand, in relation to us.
"But the distance is very, very short. They have similar objectives than us. They are going to fight with us, and with other clubs to try the best possible position, and see if we and them can get a European position.
"So it's an important match tomorrow. We need to separate the waters. We need to say: the cup final is important, but is not the match tomorrow, we need to focus totally on a very difficult match."
