25th Jan 2014 | FA Cup
Toffees Shouldn't Come Unstuck
Everton have last season's FA Cup winning manager and are surely far too strong to slip up here.
Roberto Martinez is quoted, somewhat unconvincingly, as saying that “the home team is always favourite in these rounds.” The Spaniard claims that “divisional status counts for very little.” It’s a nice try Roberto, but nobody’s buying it.
The bookies make Stevenage a best price of 11/1 (Coral) to win this FA Cup fourth round clash, and for good reason.
Rock bottom of League One, The Boro have a real problem scoring goals having found the net only 24 times in 26 fixtures in the third tier.
In contrast, Everton have the second best defensive record in the top flight and look well priced at best odds of 6/5 (Ladbrokes) to win to nil on Saturday evening.
