Crystal Palace v Everton team news
Crystal Palace
Cheick
Doucoure and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi remain sidelined and this game has come too soon for Rob
Holding, Sam Johnstone and Joel Ward, although that trio could soon be back in action.
Jordan Ayew is away with Ghana for the Africa Cup of Nations and Michael Olise is out
after pulling up against Brentford.
Everton
Ashley Young, Idrissa Gueye and Dele Alli
are out with injuries while Abdoulaye Doucoure faces a late fitness test but could
feature according to Sean Dyche.
Crystal Palace v Everton predictions
It will be
interesting to see how Roy Hodgson and Sean Dyche approach this match. Both managers of
the old-school ilk, they will hold the FA Cup in high regard, however they will be very
aware of their club's positions in the Premier League table, with Crystal Palace six
points clear of the relegation zone and Everton hovering just above the drop zone by a
point.
In usual circumstances that would lead to rotated line-ups as the league takes
priority but, due to a combination of injuries and international absences in both
camps, changes could be at a minimum for this FA Cup tie.
Without the lottery of
rotation and unfamiliar squads, an affair very similar to recent meetings between these
two could unfold at Selhurst Park.
Five of the last six tussles have gone over 2.5
goals and the first league tie between the clubs this term saw the ball hit the net
five times as Everton left South London as 3-2 victors.
A similarly exciting contest
could occur once more, with both sides enjoying mixed results of late.
Palace have won
just one of their last nine matches - a 3-1 victory over Brentford last weekend - in a
run that was kick-started by their 3-2 defeat to Everton in November.
However, that
sequence has included draws with champions Manchester City and rivals West Ham and
Brighton, so they can clearly hold their own when under the cosh and they also won the
shot count 13-8 in that defeat to the Toffees, so there may be little to split the
sides at Selhurst Park.
Everton, meanwhile, had won four matches in a row to nil, in a
run including victories over Newcastle and Chelsea, before being knocked out of the
League Cup by Fulham and subsequently losing their next three Premier League
games.
They will be looking to bounce back against Palace but are not guaranteed to do
so, especially if replicating their woeful display in their 3-0 defeat at Wolves last
weekend.
So, with both sides in mixed form and having been involved in a closely-fought
high-scoring clash earlier this season, it may be worth looking at the goals market as
opposed to a win with very little to split the pair.
Both sets of fans will be hoping
to see their sides go all out for the FA Cup, with Palace yet to win major silverware
in their history and Everton's last trophy coming in 1995, and their teams could attack
with intent as a result.
Both teams have scored in seven of the Eagles' last eight
games as well as in three of the Toffees' last four, suggesting each side should be
backed to find the net in a clash that is sure to go over 2.5 goals.

predictions
Eberechi Eze to score
With Michael Olise set to miss this fixture with an
injury, the onus will fall on Eberechi Eze to provide the attacking gusto for Palace,
and the England star could oblige just as he did when netting against Brentford in his
last appearance and against Everton earlier this season.
Both teams to score
Both sides
have found the net in seven of Palace's last eight games and three of Everton's last
four so, with little to split the sides based on recent form, the same outcome looks
likely.
James Garner to be booked
Chris Kavanagh ranks in the top ten for yellow cards
per game in the Premier League this season, with a 4.75 per match average, and James
Garner could find himself in the book as he will have cover more ground than usual in a
bid to deal with Eze, particularly with Idrissa Gueye also unavailable.
