Liverpool is not the final fling, Osman warns Toffees

Midfielder Leon Osman has warned Everton against thinking today’s encounter against Liverpool is their final.

The Toffees have worked hard to get back to Wembley since their 2009 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea but Osman does not want it to end here and is wary of what the spectacle of a day out at Wembley can do to minds which are not fully focused.

“You enjoy the settings and what it is but it is a little bit strange because the final is at Wembley and you don’t want to get sucked in to where you are because it is a semi-final game,” said the 30-year-old.
