Chris Smalling relishing Everton FA Cup clash

Chris Smalling is looking forward to Manchester United's FA Cup semi-final with Everton.

Chris Smalling has suggested that Manchester United are well equipped to beat Everton at Wembley on Saturday and move into next month's FA Cup final.

The Red Devils have been in excellent form as of late, winning five of their last six games in all competitions - a 3-0 defeat at title-chasing Tottenham Hotspur being the only blemish.

Another plus has been the return of captain Wayne Rooney, who made his comeback in the quarter-final replay victory at West Ham United earlier this month.

"I'm looking forward to it because it's going to be a great occasion," Smalling told MUTV. "Hopefully we can do the job against Everton and get back there for a second visit [for the final].

"A lot of the lads have been coming back into the team in the last couple of games, and everyone's getting fitter. The manager's now in a great position to pick a strong team, and hopefully one that is ready to go out there and do the job on Saturday."

United have not won the competition since 2004.
