Moyes feels pressure off Everton for Sunderland replay

Everton boss David Moyes believes the pressure is Sunderland as the home side for Tuesday night's FA Cup quarter-final replay. "I think the pressure does go back on them. I felt it a little bit when we played at home," said the Scot.

"We tried to do the job and win here but it was a good result for Sunderland to get us back to the Stadium of Light.

"They will see a good part of the job has been done and they have probably got themselves in the favourites position because they have been very good at home under Martin, so we know it will be a tough game."

A semi-final against near-neighbours Liverpool awaits the winners but Moyes is keen for the focus to be on the job in hand.

"It would be great. It is something I would really look forward to," said Moyes when asked for his thoughts on returning to the national stadium.

"I really enjoyed the last time - except for the result - but it would be terrific if we could go and do it again.

"But I am not thinking or talking that way because I would rather try to play in this game and then see where we go from there.

"It is too soon to ask me a question about getting back to Wembley at the moment."
