Perhaps a welcome break from league football as these teams face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the FA Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s called the Merseyside Derby whenever these two teams meet, as both come from Liverpool in the Merseyside area in North West England. It's the longest running top level derby in England, as the teams have met every year since the 1962-63 season. The clubs are located very close to each other in the city of Liverpool and the fans rarely use violence each other. On the pitch the temperature is high and this derby is known for its many red cards.
The visiting Everton played their last game only four days ago, a Premier League match. That game, against Manchester City, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Everton.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
