James Tarkowski insists Everton will not rest on their laurels despite securing Premier League safety.
A hat-trick of home victories saw Sean Dyche’s side move mathematically clear of the relegation zone with three games of the campaign remaining.
The Blues travel to Luton Town on Friday with the hosts aiming to seal their own top-flight security despite winning one of their last 14 league fixtures.
But Tarkowski has warned that while Everton are free from relegation pressure, they will not be arriving at Kenilworth Road in holiday mode.
He said: “It’s a completely different situation.
“For us as players and staff, we want to win the last three [games]. We’ve got a few days off so we’ll recover and go again on Friday night.
“We can go there with a bit of freedom and take the game on. Luton have beaten us twice this season so it’s on us to turn up and get the win.”
“There’s always pressure on us because the fans expect so much and rightly so. We’re not going there for a jolly up with our flip flops, having a day off.
“We’ll prepare right for the game and go there to win.”
