# Everton: Fans react to FA Cup draw

**Everton [have been drawn](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1467935040080330762) to face Championship side Hull City in the third round of the FA Cup.**

The tie will be played at The MKM Stadium between the 7th and 10th of January.

### Hull are struggling

Everton have already suffered an upset at the hands of second-tier opposition this season – back in September, Queens Park Rangers knocked them out of the EFL Cup on penalties.

But while QPR are in the play-off places, Hull find themselves down in 19th place. They’re only six points above the relegation zone as the season nears its halfway point.

The FA Cup was the last major trophy won by Everton, [way back in 1994/95](https://www.evertonfc.com/club/history/honours/honours-and-records).

They got within one game of the semifinals at Wembley last season, only to be downed by Manchester City.

The Toffees haven’t been knocked out of the competition by lower-league opposition since [2011](https://www.toffeeweb.com/history/records/facuprec.php) though, when Reading won at Goodison Park.

[Everton’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/Everton/status/1467935040080330762) relayed news of the draw, and here’s what supporters made of it, with plenty of pessimism due to the club’s brutal and ongoing trophy drought…
