EVERTON were seconds from winning their FA Cup clash at Oldham before being pegged back and won't make the same mistake again.
The Toffees are no bigger than 1-6 with Skybet to get it right and should win with something to spare against 18-1 (BetVictor) underdogs.
Goodison boss David Moyes is desperate to win his first trophy at the club so he won't be messing with team selection and all his main men will be there.
Swansea showed how to deal with lower-league opposition at Wembley on Sunday and while it's unlikely to be a rout Everton should at least cover the minus one handicap That pays about 1-2 so I'm going to risk minus two at 11-10 with Paddy Power.
The Toffees are big and strong and but will be again without top scorer Marouane Fellaini. However, they have their own Gareth Bale-like player in Leighton Baines and he is a biggest 10-3 at Skybet to score first having been 5-1 earlier in the day.
Recommendations
Everton -2
(11-10, Paddy Power)
Baines to score first
(10-3, Skybet)

I think that tip is too direct mr fixit, it should land but this is football. I think i’d leave the game then take everton race to 7 or 9 corners inplay. Should be above evens. Twitter @edalock
Edalock, I’m not sure what your complaint is. I’m trying to find some value from a game where Everton are massive favourites. I rarerly do corners betting because to do it properly I’d need have all the stats and keep up to date with teams who concede and win most corners. However, on this occasion with Everton having the bulk of possession and throwing in some crosses your bet should land – but at what price? I’d imagine it’s pretty short.
Everton vs Oldham
SUPER SINGLE
Leighton Baines Anytime Goalscorer @ 5/1 Skybet.
Good luck everyone
Chris, got to say Baines anytime looks a useful price.
Paul Skybet cut him to 4/1 now which is still more than double what some bookies are offering.
Chris, it’s big, think I’ll get on Baines anytime and Fellaini first.
People must have been lumping on
Chris, must have done. Right to take the dug a walk in the sun. Might add some tips later, maybe an El Clasico piece.
I agree, got £50 on anytime. If Ledley starts tomorrow which I’m sure he will I will be in him first and anytime. If Wanyama starts I’m only backing him first if he is playing in Midfield.
Chris, I still have my Bale/Wanyama double running and I’m sure if he starts it will be in midfield. Only dropped into defence last week as Ambrose was having a mare.
The half with the most goals market interests me in this one,like most people in most games id be looking to the 2nd half but not in this 1,everton have been on a 4 game winless streak and i think moyes will have them pumped up to put this game to bed as soon as possible,it could be as good as over by half time and the odds of around 15/8 for the 1st half to have most goals looks a good bet to me,2nd half is only 20/21,im oping the bookies have overlooked evertons willingness to end this quickly.Everton beat another lg 1 team Leyton Orient here earlier this season 5-0 and were 4-0 up at half time,i think they may approach this game in a similar manner.
