**Everton are set to host Sunderland in the FA Cup’s third round.**
David Moyes will welcome his one-time employers to Hill Dickinson Stadium on the weekend of January 10, 2026 for his side’s opening cup encounter.
The Blues have faced the Black Cats a total of seven times in the competition including a home tie that marked the outset of their successful run in 1966.
More recently, Moyes’ side booked their place in the 2012 semi-final against Liverpool after securing victory in a last eight replay at the Stadium of Light.
Nikika Jelavic and a David Vaughan own goal were enough to see Moyes’ side through to the competition’s penultimate stage at Wembley.
Everton’s latest meeting with Sunderland in the Premier League saw Iliman Ndiaye open the scoring as the visitors were later held to a 1-1 draw.
