National League side Boreham Wood face a huge challenge as they look to keep their FA Cup dream alive when they face Everton in the fifth round on Thursday.

The fifth-tier side have never made it this far in the competition before and beat Championship club Bournemouth in the previous round.

A win against the Toffees would be a huge shock, but Frank Lampard's team have been inconsistent all season and lost their last two matches.

Everton vs Boreham Wood preview

Boreham Wood's journey to the fifth round has been one of the shocks of the FA Cup this season.

The fifth-tier team progressed to this stage thanks to a narrow win at Bournemouth and are looking to pull off another huge shock at Goodison Park.

They will come up against a much-changed Toffees team as manager Frank Lampard is missing several first-team players heading into Thursday's clash.

Donny van de Beek, Dele Alli and Anwar El Ghazi are all missing because they played in the competition for their previous teams.

Tom Davies, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Fabian Delph are still all out, and while Dominic Calvert-Lewin is nearing his return, this game comes too soon for him. 

Everton are just one point from safety in the Premier League and may be more focused on survival than continuing their FA Cup campaign.
