Millwall 1-1 Everton

A first half strike from Marvin Williams looked like causing an upset before Leon Osman rescued the Merseysiders.


Tim Cahill, an FA Cup Finalist with Millwall two years ago, will miss out on Everton's Fourth Round clash with Chelsea this weekend because of suspension.

The Australian international will not be available for selection for the encounter at Goodison after picking up his fifth booking of the season against Arsenal on Saturday.

The caution came minutes from the end of Everton's 1-0 victory over Arsene Wenger's Gunners following a confrontation with Cesc Fabregas that led to the young Spanish midfielder being red-carded.

The Blues will also be without Alan Stubbs for the Chelsea match as the defender who returned to Goodison on Friday following a six month spell at Sunderland is cup-tied having played for Mick McCarthy's men in the third round.

Everton will be looking to build on a fantastic victory over Arsenal on Saturday, with James Beattie delighting the Goodison Park crowd and grabbing the only goal.

By contrast Chelsea could only manage a draw with Charlton Athletic at Stamford Bridge, and lost Ricardo Carvalho with ten minutes to go following the Portuguese International's second yellow card.

It was, however, the first time that Jose Mourinho's side have dropped points at home all season and they retain the comfort of a 14-point lead at the top of the Premiership.

After winning both the League Cup and the Premiership title in his first season in England, Mourinho will be eager to complete the set of domestic honours with The FA Cup.

Last season Chelsea suffered injury problems in their Fifth Round match with Newcastle United and were knocked out of the competition by a Patrick Kluivert goal.

It is sure to be another fascinating encounter between the two sides following a thrilling 1-1 draw at Goodison Park earlier this season. David Moyes is yet to get the better of Mourinho in three matches between the two managers.
