Former Everton stars David Weir and David Unsworth have sent good luck messages ahead of the Carling Cup semi-final.
The Toffees take on Chelsea at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening and the two ex-stalwarts are right behind their old colleagues.
"It will be a great occasion with hopefully the right result," said Weir.
"I will be involved in Rangers' match with East Stirling but I will be chasing the Everton result as soon as the final whistle goes.
"I was at Finch Farm recently to see the lads and I was pleased to see that the old Bellefield spirit has been carried to the new place. They are a terrific set of lads and I would love it if they could turn Chelsea over and reach Wembley.
"My sincere best wishes go to you all and I hope the fans get what they deserve...a truly memorable night and a place in the final."
Unsworth, who was a member of the last Everton team to play in a cup semi-final, the FA Cup in 1995, is also keeping his fingers crossed for a home win by the right score.
"I would love to be there because I just know from first-hand experience what Goodison is going to be like," he said.
"There is nothing like it when it's rammed full and rocking. I well recall THAT Wimbledon game when the atmosphere was unbelievable...and the place only had three sides!"
"And Evertonians still speak to me about our semi-final win in 95. We knew how much it meant to the fans and I know that the current set of lads do as well."
