Everton midfielder James McCarthy has warned his teammates that there is still work to be done before they qualify for the last 16 of the Europa League.

The Toffees play host to Young Boys on Thursday night with a 4-1 lead from the opening leg in Switzerland.

However, despite that hefty winning margin and with a trip to Arsenal in the Premier League in mind, the Irishman has insisted that Everton "won't take any prisoners" at Goodison Park.

"Arsenal's another big game in the league, but we first have to take care of Thursday," he told the club's official website.

"We have a big lead but we won't take any prisoners. We have to put a show on and it is two big games coming up."

Everton have lost just one of their last four home European matches.
