Manager Ronald Koeman insists Everton will be ready to hit the ground running when they kick off their Europa League campaign next season.
The Blues boss has revealed plans are already in place to cope with the extra demands of competing in an extra cup competition.
Having cemented seventh position in the Premier League table, the Toffees are set to enter next season's Europa League at the third qualifying-round stage, which would mean a two-legged tie on July 27 and August 3.
If they were to progress, a two-legged play-off round on August 17 and 24 would then need to be negotiated to reach the group stage.
