Everton host Championship side Rotherham in an FA Cup tie live on TV this weekend
Everton begin their FA Cup campaign with the visit of Championship side Rotherham in one of Saturday's FA Cup fixtures live on TV.
The Toffees haven't won a trophy since 1995 but with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm and a crop of talented squad of players at his disposal, the expectations – and chances – of success are on the rise.
Battling for a European place in the Premier League is Everton's main goal during this campaign, but a solid cup run would help maintain breed a winning mentality throughout 2020/21.
Championship opponents Rotherham are struggling. They have lost 12 of their opening 20 league games this season.
However, they will still hope to give a strong account of themselves in the cup and follow in the footsteps of a number of second-tier sides who have dumped Premier League opposition out of domestic cups in recent times.

Our prediction: Everton v Rotherham
Everton are beginning to fill out their squad with quality, and this is an opportunity for those fringe stars to prove their worth.
Gylfi Sigurdsson has risen to the challenge in recent weeks, and others will hope to follow his path back in from the cold.
Rotherham will put up a solid fight, but if Everton poke their noses in front, there may be no stopping them.
Our prediction: Everton 3-0 Rotherham
