Everton boss Moyes happy to set up new Liverpool FA Cup date

Everton boss David Moyes was pleased to set up an FA Cup semifinal against Liverpool after victory at Sunderland last night.

The Toffees booked a dream trip to Wembley to face their city rivals with a superb 2-0 quarter-final replay victory.

Moyes said: "Liverpool will be favourites. They have beaten us twice this year, haven't they?

"They have to go into the game as favourites, and we will go there and play."

Moyes was thrilled to have secured a trip to Wembley weeks after celebrating 10 years at Goodison Park to rekindle memories of their most recent successes.

He said: "I think anybody would think going to a semi-final would be an achievement, whether you have been there one year or 10 years.

"But the thing about Everton is they have got a history of being in finals, semi-finals, winning things. I have not been in as many as I would like to be, but I actually think there are mitigating circumstances for that in a way.

"But Everton as a football club are used to it, it's been there many times before and this isn't a strange place for them."
