EVERTON TARGET IMPORTANT CUP WIN

Everton can’t afford any mistake when they entertain English Championship club Rotherham United in one of the FA Cup third round ties billed to take place on Saturday afternoon. A place in the fourth round is up for grabs for the two teams and more significantly for Everton, they would want to return to winning ways after the disappointing outcome of their last game, a Premier League clash with East London outfit West Ham United at Goodison Park last week. Everton were on an excellent league run that took them into the Champions League places on the Premier League table beforethe West Ham game at home.

Everton were on a four-match victory run before they faced the Hammers. The excellent run included impressive wins over Chelsea, Leicester City and Arsenal. The slender 1-0 away win at bottom club Sheffield United at the end of last month took the run to four straight wins only for West Ham United to halt the run with a 1-0 away victory. Thomas Soucek is a Czech Republic national team player and he was responsible for the only goal scored. Soucek scored in the last ten minutes to win the Premier League match for the Hammers.

Everton have the opportunity to bounce back immediately from that West Ham defeat when they face Rotherham United at home in their FA Cup clash. The Toffeesare massive favourites to secure the win they need to return to winning ways against their Championship opponents according to the soccer betting tips from several soccer betting sites across the world. Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is expected to rest some key players for the game but the Toffees should still have enough to see off the Millers. Everton have a league game at Wolves on Tuesday night.

For Rotherham United, they have lost seven of their last nine games in the Championship and they are underdogs for the FA Cup meeting with Everton according to the soccer betting odds from the soccer betting sites available worldwide.
