Key Highlights

Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace are winless in their last five matches, with their latest defeat coming in the clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they lost out to a late penalty converted by Madueke to hand the struggling home team a victory.

The Eagles have collected two points from their last five matches, highlighting the difficulties they have had with their form in recent matches.

However, switching focus to the FC Cup will benefit Hodgson’s side as they will experience a different atmosphere at Selhurst Park on Thursday, with the focus being progressing in the cup at the expense of Everton.

Everton’s momentum in the league has been halted by two consecutive defeats against Tottenham away (2-1) and Man City at home (1-3). In the two matches, the Toffees gave a good account of themselves, showing great determination and fighting spirit.
