How to watch today's Everton vs Peterborough FA Cup game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Everton prepare to host Peterborough United at Goodison Park in the opening match of the FA Cup third round on Thursday evening.

The pressure is mounting on Sean Dyche after a narrow 1-0 loss to Bournemouth last weekend, with reports swirling that new owners, the Friedkin Group, are growing uneasy about the team’s recent slump. Once heralded for stabilizing the club during his first 18 months, Dyche is now facing discontent from fans, who are increasingly frustrated with his defensive tactics, which are no longer yielding results.

The Toffees are desperate for an FA Cup revival, having failed to reach the final in 16 years. Their recent record in the competition leaves much to be desired, with just one win in their last five outings. In 2022, they were dismantled by Crystal Palace, exited at this stage to Manchester United in 2023, and suffered an embarrassing defeat to Luton Town at home last season.

Everton team news

A potential subplot involves 39-year-old Ashley Young, who could face his son Tyler Young in this fixture. However, neither is likely to play, as Ashley Young’s minutes are being carefully managed, while Tyler Young has only featured briefly in an EFL Trophy match this season.

Everton’s top scorer, Dwight McNeil, remains sidelined, missing the Bournemouth clash and confirmed out for this game as well. Dominic Calvert-Lewin is another concern, nursing an ankle injury picked up in training, with his availability still uncertain. Seamus Coleman, James Garner, and Tim Iroegbunam remain out of action, while Armando Broja is doubtful after a freak incident against Bournemouth, where he injured himself attempting a shot.

Adding to Everton’s woes, Youssef Chermiti suffered a setback just days before this match, ruling him out of what would have been a chance to lead the line. As a result, teenager Harrison Armstrong is expected to get his opportunity to inject some much-needed energy into a team struggling for form.

Peterborough team news

For Peterborough United, injuries are also a concern. First-choice goalkeeper Jed Steer is unlikely to feature, meaning Australian stopper Nicholas Bilokapic will likely step in once more. The absence of Kwame Poku, one of League One's standout players this season with 15 goal contributions in 17 games, will be a major blow.

Defenders Rio Adebisi and Mahamadou Susoho are also on the injury list, while Sam Curtis has returned to Sheffield United after the conclusion of his loan spell, leaving Darren Ferguson with limited options as he seeks to upset the odds at Goodison.
