After stuttering in recent weeks, Arsenal’s best and most realistic hope for silverware this season would appear to be in the FA Cup. With a 2-0 deficit to overturn in Munich, and now trailing Chelsea by 4 points, the Gunners could really do with progressing past Everton and making it into the semi-final of the cup.

Everton will also know that they too have a realistic chance of winning the cup, with manager Roberto Martinez looking to repeat the achievement he had with his Wigan side last year and triumph in the competition.
