Moyesy says: "We defended really poorly early on but in the same breath, Blackburn probably only had five shots in the whole game and scored from four of those but we have had about 20 but hardly hit the target with any of them. It was a strange game. We didn't start well but we weren't at sixes or sevens. They had a shot that got spilled which they scored from and they got one from a free-kick. We were 2-0 down but they had only had one shot prior to that.

Everything they hit went on target and everything we hit went over or wide. I don't know how many attempts we had, but every shot they had, they scored. I think anybody in the ground could have thought that we could still come back, and our performance in the second half warranted more than one goal.

For the first time today, I thought a couple of the boys at the back were not at the races. We didn't control the game in that area but in all other areas we did well. They seemed to have the quality in the final third that we lacked."

Mark Hughes says: "We'd had the FA Cup balls all week and we felt that they were unpredictable in their flight, so we thought we'd try a few shots early on and see what happened. We got a break from that and it was certainly part of our game-plan and it worked."

* Everton fans held a minute's silent for Sergeant Graham Hesketh, 35, who died in Iraq.

Nuno Valente, Biffa and Our Tater are all doubtful after injuries at Man City last week. Our tater could play as he will have a rest next week due to suspension. Biffa will only be on the bench after his poor performance last week. Big Vic should lead the line. Stubbsey is fit and could come in should Moyesy push Roger to left back again.

Alan Irvine says: "It is an important competition and one we would love to have a good run in but that has not happened recently and it is another tough game for both sides on Sunday. Obviously at this stage of the competition you hope to get a home draw against a team from a lower division. Neither side would have asked for this one at this stage, but at least we are at home."

Everton from: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Stubbs, Weir, Hughes, Valente, Naysmith, Arteta, Osman, Carsley, Davies, Van der Meyde, McFadden, Beattie, Johnson, Anichebe, Vaughan.
