LEIGHTON BAINES has joined Marouane Fellaini in targeting a lengthy run in this season’s FA Cup.
Everton take their latest step on the road to Wembley on Saturday when they entertain holders Chelsea.
Baines was part of the team that was defeated 2-1 by the Londoners in the final of the competition 18 months ago.
And having acquired a taste for the FA Cup, the left-back is determined to go one better this time around.
