Preview: Everton vs. Blackpool

Everton host the Championship's form side in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday when they take on Blackpool.

Everton come up against the Championship's form side in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday when they host Blackpool at Goodison Park.

Ian Holloway's team have won four of their last six in the league, but the Toffees are full of confidence after recent victories over Manchester City and Chelsea.

Everton manager David Moyes is likely to name a strong side, with Landon Donovan expected to make his last appearance before returning to Los Angeles Galaxy.

Denis Stracqualursi could also keep his place in the team after his goal against Chelsea last weekend.

Meanwhile, Lomana LuaLua may partner on-loan Nouha Dicko in a Blackpool side which is likely to go on the attack.

Current form:

Everton: LDDWDW
Blackpool: DWWWDW

Possible lineups:

Everton: Howard; Baines, Heitinga, Distin, Neville; Gibson, Cahill, Pienaar, Fellaini; Donovan, Stracqualursi

Blackpool: Gilks; Crainey, Eardley, Evatt, Baptiste; Sylvestre, Ferguson, Fleck, Taylor-Fletcher; LuaLua, Dicko

Sports Mole says: 2-1
