Gary Lineker - Hello and welcome to the first FACup semi final of this 2015/2016 season where we'll see Everton take onNewcastle. Im joined today by 3 guests who have won this competition 6 timesbetween them. Roy Keane won the cup 4 times with Man Utd, Ian Wright won ittwice with Arsenal and Alan Shearer was beaten twice in the final, sorry toremind you of that Alan.
So, how do we see this going gents?
Alan Shearer - I can see it being tight and abit cagey. The league game last week really lacked quality and I can see thesame happening today. I've got fancy Newcastle to go through through.
Roy Keane - I can see this one going all the way, very even game with neither side able to find a winner before extra time.
Gary Lineker - Well, we've got the teamsheets now and this is how they both line up:

Gary Lineker - Both side's line up with a 4-5-1, has this made any of you change your mind?
Ian Wright - Not really no. It's pretty much what we thought it would be and I still see it being tight. If I'm being pushed though I'd have to go with Newcastle for the win.
Alan Shearer - I actually really fancy Newcastle now, Jagielka at right back doesn't fill me with confidence and neither does Mori at center back. If Newcastle play this right then they can really target those two.
Roy Keane - Jagielka played right back when at Sheffield United and when he first joined Everton but I agree with Alan, Newcastle need to be targeting him.
Gary Lineker - Okay, so we're moments away, lets see if our experts are right ...
