PLAY THE ADVANTAGE

The referees for the FA Cup sixth round ties, to be played this upcoming weekend March 8 and 9, have just been announed

Obviously, the biggest match will be Arsenal v. Everton. Though both teams have cooled off in the past couple of weeks, they’ll be wanting a good showing here, so this is likely to be a great game.

Mark Clattenburg will be in the middle, adding more fuel to the fire that he’s the next referee in line for this Cup’s final in May.
