Even on the back on a convincing win against Sheffield Wednesday and being handed a favourable tie in the League Cup, some Everton fans are still not confident about the upcoming round.

The Toffees were drawn against Watford in the fourth round of the League Cup, setting up a fixture against Marco Silva’s former side at Goodison Park.
A 2-0 win against Championship side Sheffield Wednesday saw Everton progress to the next round of League Cup, whilst Watford needed a 2-1 victory over Swansea City to book themselves a trip up to Merseyside to face off against their former manager.
Even with the Toffees winning fairly comfortably against the Championship side this week, some Everton fans on social media were still not confident about being drawn against a Premier League side despite Watford’s recent form and the home advantage of Goodison.
Here is what some Everton fans had to say on Twitter…
Oh boy

Some supporters, though, were feeling quite confident about the tie…

Great draw, home game to help the originals get to work. Winnable game , not a big 6 team.

Watford are currently bottom of the Premier League table despite re-hiring former manager Quique Sanchez Flores.
