AFC Bournemouth vs. Everton: League collapse not on Martinez's mind ahead of FA Cup showdown

AFC Bournemouth held Everton to a 3-3 draw in the Premier League but Roberto Martinez says that will not affect their FA Cup clash.

Roberto Martinez insists Everton will not think about avenging their late Premier League collapse against AFC Bournemouth when the two go head-to-head in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday.

Eddie Howe's side played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Everton in November, with Junior Stanislas scoring a 98th-minute equaliser after Bournemouth had battled back from 2-0 down in the final few minutes.

Late goals have cost the Merseysiders against Chelsea and Stoke City in the Premier League since then, but their FA Cup form has looked far more comfortable, with wins against Dagenham and Redbridge and Carlisle United coming with little threat of an upset.
