It’s a big game for…

Leighton Baines: Roberto Martínez suggested that the England left-back could be involved tomorrow night in North Yorkshire after a long injury lay-off. Brendan Galloway has impressed in his role as deputy, but Baines is a key figure for the Toffees, and he will hope to propel his side into the semi-finals.

Weird stat…

25: Yakubu scored 25 Premier League goals for both Middlesbrough and Everton.

Remember when…

Marco Materazzi scored the pick of the goals with a superb low free-kick as Everton smashed Boro 5-0 at Goodison Park.

Player to watch…

Ben Gibson: The Boro academy graduate is a mature performer, and would not look out of place if his team were to reach the Premier League at the climax of this season. The centre-back is extremely comfortable on the ball, and is often the player who starts Boro’s aesthetically pleasing moves.
