Everton manager Ronald Koeman has told Sport360 that his side will not approach Sunday's home game against Tottenham differently to any other Premier League match.
Spurs are second in the table, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea -- but Everton, in seventh place, are eyeing a late run for European qualification.
And Koeman said: "The question has been asked if our game against Tottenham represents some kind of extra test, as if it is different to the other challenges we have faced already this season.
"This is a tough challenge against a strong team at home and we will need to be at our best level -- but this is the same no matter who you play in the Premier League.
