Everton v Blackpool

TEAM NEWS

Everton will be without Phil Jagielka (knee), Leon Osman (foot) and Jack Rodwell (hamstring)

Seamus Coleman may return as could striker Nikica Jelavic who missed the Chelsea game with a stomach strain.

In-form winger Matt Phillips is Blackpool’s only injury concern, after he missed Tuesday’s win over Doncaster.

If Phillips is ruled out, on-loan Wigan forward Nouha Dicko looks likely to retain his place, after he scored Blackpool’s third goal in midweek.

Everton

• The five-times winners and 2009 beaten finalists have won their last three home games in league and cup.

• They have only qualified for the quarter-finals once in nine years, and last season were ousted by Championship club Reading.

• This is one of five fifth round ties pitting a Premier League club with second tier opposition.

Blackpool

• The 1953 winners have not lost in 10 games in all competitions, and are enjoying their best FA Cup run for 22 years.

• Sheffield Wednesday, in the previous round, was the first league club Blackpool had knocked out of the FA Cup since 2006. They have not dismissed a top-flight side since Burnley, in the third round in January 1976.

• The Lancashire club last graced the quarter-finals in 1959, and are hoping to add to the eight goals scored on the road so far in this season’s competition.
