Everton defender Sylvain Distin says reaching the next round of the Europa League a game early will help their domestic campaign.
A point against Wolfsburg in Germany on Thursday will guarantee qualification while victory will mean they cannot be caught at the top of Group H.
"We will do everything to win that game but if we get a point then we can have a bit of rotation and rest some legs," said Distin.
"We try to win every game. It is great to think we need just a point to qualify so it will be great to get that on Thursday.
"You need to deal with it (Europa League) and how to recover as soon as possible because playing three games in a week is really tough.
"You need to learn about yourself, how to recover, and then move on to the next game."
