James Tarkowski sends rallying call before first Everton game since Premier League charge

James Tarkowski has called on his Everton side to use the disappointment of their Carabao Cup exit as motivation against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup.

Everton will play for the first time tonight since the Premier League charged them with breaking its financial rules. Both the Blues and Nottingham Forest have been referred to an independent commission for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability regulations in their accounts for 2022/23.
The Goodison Park club are also appealing against a 10-point deduction from a previous charge.

Sean Dyche’s side saw their League Cup campaign end in heartbreak against Fulham last month. Despite Beto cancelling out Michael Keane's own goal in the second half, Tosin Adarabioyo was the hero for Marco Silva’s side, converting the winning spot-kick in the shootout.

Now, after a 0-0 draw at Selhurst Park, the Blues have a second chance to book their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

“We had the chance in the League Cup and missed out on that on penalties,” Tarkowski said. “We are ready to go again in the cup. We are looking forward to it.

“I thought we played pretty well down there, created a few chances, and obviously got the red card that went against us (Dominic Calvert-Lewin's, which was overturned on appeal). Hopefully, on Wednesday night, we get a big win and move to the next round."

Everton come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa last time out. While a good result, the Blues are without a win since their 2-0 victory over Burnley on December 16.
