Everton boss Roberto Martinez says they'll be taking the Europa League seriously this season.
Everton welcome Wolfsburg to Merseyside on Thursday as they make their way through seven matches in 23 days.
"Last year we had to work so hard for 38 games to achieve that, it would be nonsense to say we don't want to be giving it everything we've got," he said.
"As long as people understand that making changes to the line-up doesn't mean you don't care about a competition. We really want to go all the way in the Europa League."
Lille and Russian side Krasnodar are also in Group H.
"We're excited because those teams will bring a completely different tactical approach and we will benefit from that," added Martinez. "Everton have to be in Europe. It is a priority for us. Maybe we were not ready for the Champions League, even though we fought hard to get into it. This is the perfect next step for us."
