Everton to host Rotherham in FA Cup third round

Everton have been drawn at home to Rotherham United in the FA Cup Third Round.

The tie will take place over the weekend of January 8-10, potentially in-between an EFL Cup semi-final for the Blues on January 4/5 and the trip to Wolves in the Premier League on January 12.

Last time they met was in the 2018-19 Carabao Cup, when Marco Silva’s Toffees ran out 3-1 winners at Goodison Park in August 2018, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin netting a brace.

Paul Warne’s side are currently 19th in the Championship with three wins from their 14 games so far this season.

Everton have won the competition five times in their 142-year history, but their FA Cup triumph over Manchester United in 1995 remains their most recent piece of silverware.

They reached the semi-finals in 2016, but have not made it past the fourth round in the four years since, suffering defeats to Liverpool (twice), Leicester City and Millwall.
