Roberto Martinez says Saturday's visit of Swansea City is less about revenge and more about continuing the Blues' recent good form.
The Toffees saw their Capital One Cup campaign come to an abrupt end with a 3-0 defeat at the Liberty Stadium in late September but go into the weekend's rematch having recorded back-to-back wins in their last two outings.
And, with the game against Garry Monk's men the first of three fixtures in a week before the final international break of the year, Martinez is keen for his team to head into the mid-November interval having extended their unbeaten streak.
He told evertontv: "You don't play games to look back at the last time you played against that opposition. For us, it's more about where we are now.
"We're getting towards the end of the start of the league campaign and it's very important that we finish this first third of the season really strongly.
"The next three fixtures before the international break are really important for us to make sure that we are in a perfect position for where we want to be.
"We're facing a Swansea team we respect a lot. I think Swansea City have got a footballing philosophy that everyone can see, they've been mastering it over the years and I think there is a real understanding of what they do and how they bring a real technical approach into their performances.
"So, we know what we're facing at the weekend and we know we'll have to be at our best. But we do feel that we're starting to hit a very good moment of form, starting to get momentum in terms of our results and we want that to continue.
