    It is a very, very cold night in the north west. There are piles of ice behind the advertising hoardings around the ground at Bloomfield Road, but the pitch has been cleared well.

    It’s still going to be tricky conditions for both sides though, especially near the corner areas.

    But we’re still on course to start at 7.45pm as planned.

    It has been an unsettling week for Everton and Nottingham Forest. The Premier League has charged both clubs with breaching its financial rules.

    Clubs that breach those rules are at risk of a fine or a points deduction. Everton are currently appealing against a 10-point deduction from a previous charge.

    Tonight is the first game for both sides since these latest charges have been announced. Will the FA Cup provide a degree of escapism?

    Certainly keep your eyes and ears peeled for anything the fans might have planned at tonight's games.

    There is a statue of Stan Mortensen, who scored a hat-trick in the 1953 FA Cup final, outside Blackpool’s Bloomfield Road stadium

    This match is a repeat of last year's FA Cup third-round tie when Blackpool, then a Championship side, easily defeated a much-changed Nottingham Forest outfit, with the Tangerines winning 4-1 at Bloomfield Road before losing to then-Premier League Southampton in round four.

    That was only the third time in the past 12 seasons that Blackpool have been in the fourth round.

    Both of these sides have lifted the FA Cup before. Forest on two occasions, in 1897-98 and 1958-59, thanks to wins over Derby and Luton respectively, with Forest losing 2-1 to Tottenham in the 1991 final.

    Blackpool's greatest moment in their history came in the FA Cup, when they won the 1952-53 tournament by beating Bolton 4-3 in a seven-goal thriller in front of 100,000 people at Wembley Stadium.

    The match is known as the 'Matthews Final' for the role a then 38-year-old Stanley Matthews played in helping them fight back from 3-1 down to win the final, which also included a hat-trick from Stan Mortensen and a 92nd-minute winner from Bill Perry as Joe Smith's side lifted the cup.

    They had come close twice before but lost in the 1948 and 1951 finals, against Manchester United and Newcastle respectively.
