Chelsea made a steady start to a feisty FA Cup quarter-final lacking early chances.

Everton played a high-tempo pressing game from the start, but Chelsea stayed solid defensively and Kenedy had the best opportunity.

The Brazilian shot over after a fine run and clever interchange of passes with Pedro.

Diego Costa, starting up front despite a hip injury which saw him come off in the Champions League defeat against Paris St-Germain, was booked early on following a tussle with Gareth Barry.

Eden Hazard was left out of the squad but captain John Terry was included on the bench following injury.

Everton: Robles; Coleman, Funes Mori, Jagielka, Baines; Cleverley, Barry; Lennon, McCarthy, Barkley; Lukaku.
Subs: Howard, Stones, Niasse, Besic, Osman, Deulofeu, Kone.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Kenedy; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Pedro; Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Baba, Terry, Loftus-Cheek, Oscar, Traore, Remy.
