Match Thread Everton 1-1 Sunderland 12:15 Saturday 10th January 2026 (FA Cup Third Round)

[AsiaAsia82]

Surely has to play Patterson (even with Moyes Celtic bias) & Dibling.
Not sure if Harrison is cup tied but needs to start also.

 

[A hayes]

No V A R good start
Pickford
Patterson Tarky O Brian Mykolenko
Armstrong Garner Tim
Dribbling Barry Aznou
No Mc Neil good start made better.

We’re already down to 10, as Dwight will defo start again.

Sadiki is the biggest miss there for them, class player

He's back from AFCON now only missing Diarra really and he's been out months. No idea what team he'll play, it's usually fringe players in the cups anyway.

We’re already down to 10, as Dwight will defo start again.

Agreed, he`ll go on the left.

Not a side Moyes will select but i would go for

Jordan
O Brien Tarky Myko
Patterson Aznou
Garner Tim Armstrong
Beto Barry

5-3-2 get crosses in.

But Moyes will go for McNeil and Dibling in a 4-3-3. Dibling and Patterson replacing Keane and Grealish.

It is a very tough schedule for everyone and they have 3-4 at AFCON themselves.

They have 6 mate. Unless some have come back because they have been knocked out.

If Sunderland take it seriously, they'll win. If they rest plenty of players, we have a chance.

Was thinking that myself mate. They might decide to focus on the league. Even if they decided to rest players it will still be a close game knowing us. I fancy us 1-0 though.

Travelling up from Portsmouth tomorrow to take my dad to his first match at HD. Except for the weather, the driving conditions, the last two home games, the injuries, the suspensions and AFCON, I'm looking forward to it!!!!

 

[Dharma]

Now no hope of any progression in this competition. Should make the FA very happy.

They're only one point ahead in the league, and not on the best run of results, but with their players coming back from AFCON they must view it as a great chance to finish in the European places.

That's what I'm hoping anyway.

Would love to go for a 4 4 2 with Beto and Barry up front take it to them

 

[Neiler]

In such cases of severe adversity are hero's born!

* As i once said trying to find the exit in IKEA.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Pickford
Röhl Tarkowski O'Brien Myko
Armstrong Ireobugnam Garner
Dibling Barry McNeil

We shall not be moved.

Hear the Everton roar !
