Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson believes the side have the strength to make it to Wembley in the FA Cup.
The Black Cats are just one game away from a trip to Wembley, with both semi finals of the competition again being played at the national stadium despite opposition from within the game, and, after beating Liverpool last weekend, he believes they can now overcome the other half of Mersyside with a win at Goodison Park.
Martin O'Neill's men were without key trio Lee Cattermole, Stephane Sessegnon and Kieran Richardson for the win over the Reds and Larsson believes that shows a great strength in depth in the squad.
Cattermole and Sessegnon will still be missing for the trip to Everton as they are suspended but the Swedish international believes the squad will be able to cope.
"We have the squad to cope with it," Larsson told the Northern Echo. "Last year with Birmingham we didn't really have the squad to cope with that so we couldn't really put out the strongest possible team on the day and we were punished.
"But we've got a good squad here with people able to perform. It's a one-off game and if we put in a good performance we're in with a shout."
