Roy Hodgson stuck with the same Palace XI that beat Southampton last weekend as he sought a fourth consecutive victory.
Sam Johnstone kept his place in goal whilst Michael Olise, Jordan Ayew and Eberechi Eze started in attack, with Wilfried Zaha still out with a groin injury.

Everton, meanwhile, remain in the thick of the relegation scrap despite their midseason move to bring in Sean Dyche. The Toffees have won just three league games under his tenure and are winless in their last four games. They currently reside in 17th place but are level on points with Nottingham Forest in 18th. A huge away victory today would move the Merseyside side up to 16th after Leeds' defeat earlier on Saturday against Fulham.

As the Premier League season heads towards the final straight, the tension at the bottom of the table continues to mount. Palace, though, are one of the teams who have eased concerns over their league status following the return of Roy Hodgson. The veteran manager has guided Palace to three straight wins and they now sit in 12th place and, crucially, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
