Everton boss David Moyes feels the Premier League is undermining the prestige of the FA Cup.
His side go into Saturday's lunchtime showdown after a late kick-off against Tottenham last week and a derby at Liverpool on Tuesday.
"I don't think the Premier League helped with putting the game on in midweek," said Moyes.
"We had a game that kicked off at 5.30, a game on Tuesday and one now. You could say they are undermining the Cup, because to squeeze that game in like they did hardly makes sense."
