FA Cup betting - Everton v Reading

Bookmark and Share David Moyes’ side have been inconsistent all season and have spent the majority of it in the bottom half of the table. However, things have started to look up for the Merseyside club as they followed up an FA Cup win at Chelsea with a comfortable 2-0 win over Sunderland. The Toffees will now hope to claim a place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup when they face Reading in the fifth round at Goodison Park on Tuesday. Full Time Result betting for the cup clash has Everton available at 1.44, with Reading 7.50 and the draw 4.33. Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta said: "It is the only chance now we have got to win something, so let's beat Reading and that will make a big difference to the season. I also didn't get the chance to play in the (2009) final because I was injured, so hopefully we can beat Reading and get closer to returning there." Everton are 9.00 to win the 2010/11 FA Cup outright.
