Prediction

Crystal Palace

1 : 1

Everton

Crystal Palace made it five wins from their last six matches in all competitions with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Doncaster in the FA Cup on Monday night.
Oliver Glasner's side are starting to hit form at a crucial part of the season, and could move into Premier League's top half with a victory here.
After the disappointment of defeat to Bournemouth in the FA Cup on Saturday, Everton battled admirably to earn a dramatic late point in the last ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
David Moyes has now overseen three wins and a draw in his five league matches since returning to the Toffees.
Everton were 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture back in September, but will almost certainly face a sterner task here.
