Handicap
Sunderland vs Everton
0 : 0
David Moyes wants his players to forget all about FA Cup glory and get their minds back on the Premier League - starting today at Sunderland.
The Toffeemen go to the Stadium of Light in a huge game for both sides. Everton are chasing fifth while the Black Cats are praying for three points to ease their relegation worries.
Moyes admits thoughts of FA Cup glory have started to sneak in due to the huge media coverage since they beat Manchester United.
He said: "Every interview and everything that is said now has got the tag of the Cup Final attached to it and I understand why. I think even more so for us because it's the first time we have been there for a while.
"I can understand how everyone's minds can drift towards that, but we have to concentrate on our job and get these games won."

Moyes does, however, hope that the exposure Everton get from playing in the final of the world's biggest domestic competition could get the moneymen running towards Goodison Park.
Everton owner Bill Kenwright has admitted he would sell to the right investor if they came along.
Moyes added: "As far as I know you don't get a great deal out of the FA Cup in terms of money, but you would hope in terms of investors it would bring more attention to the club.
"I've said for many years that Everton are one of the clubs that look attractive."
