Everton welcome Tottenham to Goodison Park on Wednesday evening in a mouth-watering FA Cup fifth round clash.
The two sides come into the match almost neck-and-neck in the Premier League with Everton a point and a place above Tottenham, who are sat eighth - albeit having played one more game.
The draw is one both managers would have rather avoided, but also one both will believe they can win, perhaps Ancelotti more so after his side strolled to an opening day Premier League victory over the visitors at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Everton will be buoyed after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's last gasp equaliser earned them a hard-fought point at Manchester Untied last time out, while Tottenham broke a three-match losing streak with a much-needed win over West Brom.
