Carlo Ancelotti will wait until the last minute to decide if James Rodriguez and Jordan Pickford will face Spurs in the FA Cup fifth round with Everton pair struggling for fitness

Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti will make a late decision on the fitness of playmaker James Rodriguez and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round visit of Tottenham.

The Colombia international was taken off as a precaution in the 3-3 draw at Manchester United after complaining of a tight calf and Ancelotti will not risk the forward if there is any doubt.

Pickford has sat out the last two matches with a rib injury and will also be assessed.

'I have to wait until training to see if Pickford and James are available,' said Ancelotti.
