Everton will be looking to avoid a major upset when they host non-league Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Everton will be looking to avoid a major upset in Saturday's third round FA Cup tie against non-league Tamworth at Goodison Park.

Manager David Moyes will be without defender Phil Jagielka, who left Goodison Park on crutches after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at home to Bolton Wanderers.

Jack Rodwell is likely to replace the England international, with midfielder Tim Cahill also in contention for a recall.

The Toffees have won the famous trophy five times and last appeared in the final in 2009.

Meanwhile, Tamworth have reached the third round twice in their 69-year history, the last time being in 2006.

Everton currently sit 11th in the Premier League table, with Tamworth occupying 15th place in the Blue Square Bet Conference Premier.

Possible lineups:

Everton: Howard; Hibbert, Distin, Rodwell, Heitinga; Baines,
Neville, Cahill McFadden; Anichebe, Stracqualursi

Tamworth: Hedge; Tate, Habergham, Courtney, Francis, Bradley;
Green, Kanyuka, St Aimie, Thomas; Paterson

Sports Mole says: 3-0
