It's a second Premier League game in three days for both clubs, but at least this time both of them have had the same amount of rest, or lack of it!

David Moyes admitted after the dramatic late victory against West Brom on Tuesday that that was the game they really had to win this week so I imagine they'll come to Wembley with a bit more freedom particularly having already won there in the League Cup in October.
