LONDON (Reuters) - The last-ever FA Cup tie at Goodison Park proved to be the dampest of squibs on Saturday and Everton fans will demand something of a higher order for what will be an emotional last Merseyside derby at the famous old ground on Wednesday night.

Everton stumbled to a 2-0 defeat by Bournemouth, their gloom lifted only by Liverpool's subsequent shock 1-0 loss at Plymouth Argyle, and though Everton will now focus their attention on avoiding relegation and Liverpool will seek to widen their lead at the top, Wednesday's game will exist in its own world away from the Premier League table.
