5th Jan 2019 | FA Cup
Outrageously Impish
It would go down as one of THE FA Cup shocks but Everton 's performance levels vary hugely at the moment and these underdogs have pedigree after winning away to top flight opponents in 2016.
There’s every chance we could end up looking foolish but I can’t ignore best odds of 22/1 with Bet365 on League 2 table-toppers Lincoln City beating a very inconsistent Everton.
It would be an almighty FA Cup shock but Lincoln boss Dan Cowley certainly has previous after guiding the Imps to the quarter-finals two years ago - the first non-league team to manage that in over a century.
Marco Silva says he will put out “an XI which has 100% condition to win the match” but that just tells me he’ll rest players.
Not that the first team has been impressing anyway. Three league defeats in 4 includes two at Goodison and the fans will get very restless if this one starts poorly.
