There’s an old adage in football that two-nil is the most dangerous of leads, but Everton have taken that perceived wisdom to new levels this season. The Blues became the first side to recover from two-nil down to win an FA Cup final when they triumphed against Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley in 1966, but that was 94 years into the competition’s existence so just how often does it happen?

Centre stage Bringing Jake O’Brien into the side as right-back proved to be an inspired David Moyes masterstroke on the manager’s return to Everton but having now moved into his more natural central role, the Republic of Ireland international has endured a couple of tough assignments. Snapped up for £16.43million from Olympique Lyonnais last July, O’Brien was the Blues’ biggest signing in the summer of 2024, but found himself largely overlooked by Sean Dyche in the first half of this season.

There is a football match to be played too though and David Moyes will be keen to see the team return to winning ways.

Dwight McNeil continued his return to full fitness by coming off the bench in Everton's defeat at ChelseaDwight McNeil admits this has been a tough season after suffering his first major injury but he is hoping to impress new Everton manager David Moyes – even if it means operating in the team’s ‘problem position’ of right wing. The 25-year-old left-footer came on as a 64th minute substitute at Chelsea on Saturday, operating on the opposite flank to normal as he replaced Jack Harrison.

It’s been over 30 years of hurt here for the visitors since Paul Rideout’s header in Joe Royle’s first away game – an occasion that predates even their last trophy of course – in November 1994.
