Everton have got a potential match against the Premier League Champions Chelsea in the FA Cup 4th round, if they can overcome a potential upset when they take on Millwall in the FA Cup 3rd round replay a week on Wednesday.

Everton held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw earlier in the season at Goodison and the previous 2 games between the 2 sides since Mourinho took have ended in 1-0 defeats for Everton so it will not be easy for the Champions. Neither side will be happy with the draw but as has been proven many times in the FA Cup anything can happen. Of course this depends on Everton beating Millwall, which given Everton's recent history in the competition it is not guranteed.
