Everton defender Joleon Lescott says they're determined to confirm their success in recent seasons with an FA Cup win.

"We feel here that we have achieved much in the Premier League, we are consistent and we have got in amongst the European places for the last few years without being able to go out and spend hundreds of millions," said Lescott.

"We're proud of that, but there is definitely a need - and a desire - to win a trophy. We want that feeling, we want that recognition, we want to give our fans something special.

"You could say it is the next step for us to take, because this team is developing, and putting a trophy in the Goodison cabinet would write a little bit of history.

"That's what it is all about in the end, having something to show for all your work. But let's not kid anyone, winning the FA Cup this season is not exactly going to be easy.

"We've already had to beat two of the top four just to get to the quarter-final, and now we are playing another Premier club. If we beat them, then there is every chance we'll be joined in the semi- finals by Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. So a bit of work still to be done then."
