The FA Cup was the last trophy Everton lifted in 1995 and boss Carlo Ancelotti is aware of its significance.

"The FA Cup is an important competition, to reach the final or the semi-final we have to go step by step," he said. "We hope to have less difficulty for this game. We do not want to be the negative surprise.

"We know its important in this country, we had problems in first game against Rotherham, we had difficulties. Sheffield Wednesday are coming with the standards they have, they are strong team and we have to be ready."
