Match Thread Everton v Sheffield Wednesday - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Jeff Jones]

It's a game we should and probably will win, but we made a meal of the Rotherham match and we've seen Premier league teams struggling and even
losing against lower league teams. I'm taking nothing for granted.

I have a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday because my grandad supported them until he moved to Liverpool after WW1 and became a massive Evertonian.

They were originally named the Wednesday cricket club. They were formed by factory workers, and Wednesday was their day off work. So that's why they're called Sheffield Wednesday!

So both are contributing factors.

So both are contributing factors.

Well yes according to the clubs official history book.

In theory, we ought to have plenty in the tank after our break to have this won by half time. We can then look to rest some key men ahead of Leicester.

Equally as likely, we’ll end up off the pace, exhausted and squeaking through in extra time again.

don't we will beat these.
I have a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday one of my favourite aways, watched them a few times this season and they are not very good.
We had an off day in the last round can't see us doing that again.

Hope you're right mate. Could use a bright spot this weekend
