Marco Silva insists Everton’s game with Manchester City will not decide the Premier League title race.
The reigning champions could leapfrog current leaders Liverpool on goal difference with a victory at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening.
It has led to a debate among some Blues fans whether a loss against Pep Guardiola’s side would be accepted as their rivals bid for a first title since 1990.
But Silva is adamant his remit remains unchanged and does not see Everton’s latest encounter having any significant bearing on City or Liverpool’s run-in.
He said: “My feeling is not on the title race or for us to look to that fight.
“We know our fight, and for sure what our fans want for tomorrow is to win the game, that’s the most important thing.
“You are talking about one title and it’s not just two teams, I think more than two teams are fighting for this title.
“There are many games to play and nothing will be decided tomorrow. We look for ourselves and we will do everything we can.
“All the other fights aren’t for us to think about.”
