Everton v Sheff Wed

  • 20:00 GMT on BT Sport 1
  • Match odds:

Everton come into an FA Cup fourth-round tie against Sheffield Wednesday on the back of 12 days off after the postponement of their Premier League game at Aston Villa.

Whether that factors into Carlo Ancelotti’s team selection remains to be seen but this is a golden opportunity for anything close to a strong Toffees side to move into the FA Cup’s last 16.

In any other recent season, this would be a competition Everton might target but their fine league form has put them just two points off a Champions League spot at the halfway stage with a game or two in hand on every team above them.
