The Toffees have failed to win a trophy since 1995 and will hope to mark the Carlo Ancelotti era with silverware of some description to end the drought.

Everton are going along nicely in the Premier League but will be determined to mark an improved season in a tangible way, as opposed to simply finishing as highly as possible in the table.

Sheffield Wednesday head into the game in a dire position, 23rd in the Championship, but with renewed optimism following a four-game unbeaten streak including three wins in that spell.

Caretaker boss Neil Thompson has overseen the upturn in form, and will hope to keep impressing in the role if he harbours hopes of landing the job on a permanent basis.

Jack Marriott, Julian Borner, Joost van Aken and Dominic Iorfa are all out while Josh Windass and Massimo Luongo are doubts.

Our prediction: Everton v Sheffield Wednesday

Finishing in the top six is great, finishing in the top four is superb, but winning cups, lifting trophies, seeing your team walk the walk at Wembley, climb those stairs and hoist silver in the air, that's what fans remember for the rest of their lives.

Everton have boasted several good teams over the past couple of decades, they were impressive under Moyes despite wobbles since, they have spent huge money, but for what? Fans have enjoyed great moments, but not the truly iconic moment.

Ancelotti is a born winner, a natural collector of trophies, and he boasts a squad capable of going all the way this time. He must instil a professional attitude into his players and make them believe in the early stages to avoid a complacent exit.

Our prediction: Everton 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday (11/2 at bet365)
