Marouane Fellaini has said that Everton have "a big chance" of reaching their first FA Cup semi-final in three seasons this weekend.

Fellaini, whose goal helped Everton past Middlesbrough at this stage in 2009, admits that he would love to send the Toffees back to the semis when Sunderland travel to Goodison Park this afternoon.

"It is an important cup game," he told the club's official website. "I would love to score again.

"We are at home in front of our supporters who will be with the team. It is a big chance for us to reach the semi-final.

"I am sure the fans will be right behind us. I think we have got a good chance."

Fellaini has scored 12 goals in almost 100 appearances for Everton.
