Roberto Martinez insists Everton's current Premier League battle will not take away from their European exploits.
The Toffees have not won in England's top flight for five matches which has seen them fall to 14th and sitting just six points above the relegation zone.
Tomorrow night, Martinez's side hosts Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League Round of 16 first leg and the Spaniard has made it clear that competing in Europe is still a priority for the Merseyside club.
"We know the severity of the situation in the league. We have 10 games to go, and we will take that as 30 points to fight for and 10 finals," said Martinez.
"But the only focus for now is Dynamo. We don't want to take things lightly. The last time we were involved at this stage was 2008.
"You should not underestimate how much work has been put in over the last 16 months to get into this position. So we must focus on this tie, and the home leg, which is vital.
"European football is something we want at Everton."
