Everton hosts Tottenham in the English FA Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 10th at Goodison Park (Liverpool)
Everton presented one of the brightest games of the weekend. The Toffees visited Old Trafford on Saturday and managed to arrange a spectacular draw with Manchester United. First, the team from Liverpool (after 0-2 in the 1st half) managed to turn the tide of the game thanks to goals in the 49th and 52nd minutes. It was the feat of Doukure, who first scored himself and then assisted James. The Red Devils were able to take the lead again, but Calvert-Lewin beat De Gea in the 95th minute and pulled out an honorable draw. But will the Toffees find any strength for the cup after that? The more so as they lay serious claims to the top four and a return to the Champions League.

Tottenham finally broke a streak of failures. In the last round, Mourinho fielded Kane, and the captain immediately began to gain a result for a London club. It was Harry who scored an extremely important goal on February 7th. West Bromwich resisted more than half but then infuriated Allardyce: the defense missed the striker of the London club, and he coolly used Hojbjerg's pass. And then Son scored another goal. It was the connection of the Englishman and the Korean that was the main trump card for Jose Mourinho in the first part of the season. Their goals and wonderful interaction on the pitch allowed the Spurs to lay claims even to 1st place in the Premier League standings. Moreover, they have already made it to the League Cup final. Now there is a chance to take a step in a similar tournament. In the FA Cup, Tottenham scored nine goals in the previous two rounds. Truth be told, its opponents were very modest (Marine and Wycombe). Will the regular lineup play in Liverpool, or will the Special One be thinking mainly about Saturday's meeting with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Premier League?
It is difficult to say which of these clubs will take the cup seriously, and who will try to "tank" the tournament. After all, both Everton and Tottenham retain chances of getting into the top four in the Premier League standings. However, both teams rarely please the fans with goal extravaganza, and they will probably not do this in the upcoming head-to-head meeting.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
