Carlo Ancelotti has stirred up Everton's rivalry with Liverpool as the new Toffees boss insists it's a 'big motivation' to knock their arch enemies out of the FA Cup.
The pair face off in the third round on January 5 in what will be his fourth game in charge.
Ancelotti said in his first press conference as Everton head coach: 'Evertonians know my record against Liverpool and they will be happy for this.
'It is true we beat Liverpool this season. It’s a big rival here and it’s a big motivation for us.
Asked how it feels to beat the Reds he said: 'It feels good! I have a really good relationship with Jurgen Klopp.
'They are not used to losing. It was a good day for me. I know how Everton supporters want to be at Liverpool.
'We don’t have to wait long. We will test each other soon. It's not mission impossible [to beat Liverpool]. Nothing is impossible in football. '
