Round 3 of the FA Cup got off to a positive start yesterday with many matches going beyond fans' expectations. Today’s action begins with an afternoon game between Everton and Sunderland. Both English clubs will face off at Dickenson’s Ground at 12:15 PM GMT with a place in the next round at stake.

Everton come as favourites despite a few injury concerns. The Toffees have also performed well in the English Premier League and will aim to carry that form into the FA Cup fixture.
