Episode overview

Ten years ago Wimbledon were non-league nobodies. Now they're not only rubbing shoulders with the elite in the championship, but they have knocked over quite a few too. Not Everton though - they have taken the full six points off 'the Dons' this season. But this is the Cup, which for Everton represents one leg of the double that was achieved last year by the Red half of Merseyside. It's a tie with a whiff of Cup history about it, whoever wins. Everton have played in the last three finals and now go for a record fourth in a row. Wimbledon's target is to reach the quarter-finals for the first time. This same fifth round two years ago is the furthest they have gone.
