David Moyes' side meet the League Two side in the quarter-finals next month, hoping to continue their cup run.

The Blues are expected to come out on top and progress to the semi-finals of the competition.

Should they do so, they could face Liverpool or Bournemouth, Manchester City or Bradford City or Sunderland or Crystal Palace.

However, the Cod Army have taken action to put the Premier League side at a disadvantage and try and stop Thierno Barry and Co.

They are hoping to cause another upset at Highbury after beating Arsenal, but have shafted away supporters in the process after what they have done.

What are the ticket details for Fleetwood vs Everton clash?

Everton announced ticket details for the contest on Friday afternoon.

The Merseysiders have been handed 718 tickets for the match at Highbury, with six spots for wheelchair users.

That is over 200 fewer than the Gunners were given, as Mikel Arteta's side had 941 supporters in attendance.

The Fishermen's reasoning for less tickets for the Blues was explained in the release from the Blues, but it is not good enough.

Tickets will be decided by a ballot process which will be open to Season Ticket Members who have accumulated 126 away credits from the 2021/22 to 2026/27 seasons.

It will open on 19 November at 10am and close at 4pm on the same day, with supporters notified the following day.

Why is it such a bad decision from Fleetwood?

The information from the hosts is that is it due to safety concerns and to increase availability for home supporters.

They apparently reviewed safety arrangements after the sell-out Arsenal clash and have handed the Blues a lower allocation.

It was stated that the allocation that the L3 outfit have received is still just under 15 per cent of the stadium's capacity.

It stinks of an attempt to try and gain as much of a advantage as possible, and while that is not exactly unfair, given the difference in quality between the sides, it is not ideal for travelling fans.

Hopefully the Blues get the better of the lower-league opposition, and show that it doesn't matter how many fans they have in attendance.
