Everton are probably the strongest team left in the cup besides us. I'd fancy us vs Arse simply because it is Arsenal and we comfortably beat them at their home just recently when we were in far worse form and Utd. are just a poor team, in poor form with a far worse squad than ours. Everton however are highly motivated. In the league they might have underachieved almost as much as we have but exactly that makes them all the more dangerous. They have young, quality players (Deloufeu, Lukaku, Berkeley, Stones etc) who might be a bit inconsistent though they are always up for the occasion. Also I fear with Cahill and Brana up against Lukaku's pace. Unfortunately Zouma  can not offer him a warm, cosy place in his pocket this time. Well after that it can only get easier. We once were thrown out of the cup by Everton at this exact stage in the replay at SB by penalties in 2011. I hope it is rather a repeat of the 2009 final this time round. Both clubs have considerably worse teams this year tho.

Over Easter in the old days there used to be 3 games in four days. One on Good Friday, one on the Saturday and another on the Monday. It was just a brilliant weekend to be a football fan. Can't speak for the players mind; it must have seriously disrupted their birds, booze and fags lifestyle. :)

In the even older days they used to play matches on Christmas Day as well as on Boxing Day.
