Everton boss Roberto Martinez says his side want to beat Manchester City to strengthen their European hopes rather than do Liverpool a title favour.
City will secure the Premier League if they win their remaining three games.
But a slip at Goodison Park tomorrow will hand the initiative back to Everton's city rivals Liverpool, who play at Crystal Palace on Monday.
"Helping other teams is not the way we do things," added Martinez. "We focus on trying to win for ourselves."
Liverpool finished seventh in the Premier League table last season. Should Brendan Rodgers's side win the title, they will become the first team to go from seventh to title winners since Everton in 1985.
Everton, who start the penultimate weekend of the season fifth in the table, still have a mathematical chance of securing a top-four finish and a qualifying spot in next season's Champions League.
Arsenal are currently fourth, four points above Everton, who still need points to be certain of a Europa League spot.
Liverpool lead the table but need a favour from their neighbours as City, three points behind and with a superior goal difference, have a game in hand.
Martinez says securing a European place is all he is thinking of ahead of City's visit — Everton's last home match of the season.
In other matches ythis weekend, Chelsea will host Norwich City on Sunday, Arsenal will be at home to West Brom, Manchester United welcome Sunderland to Old Trafford, Newcastle United play relegation-threatened Cardiff City at St. James' Park, West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur clash in a London derby at Upton Park, Aston Villa will host Hull City, Stoke City welcome Fulham to the Britannia stadium, and Swansea play Southampton.
