Everton vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Goodison Park
Frank Lampard stays loyal to the Everton team from midweek, despite a 1-0 loss at Newcastle.
That means Mason Holgate, who failed to come off the bench against Newcastle, will hope to play a role as a substitute here. Patrick Vieira makes two changes however, despite a 2-1 win over Wolves last time out. Jeffrey Schlupp comes out of the starting line-up, and the Eagles will miss Cheick Doucoure due to suspension.
So there are opportunities for Jordan Ayew and the captain Luka Milivojevic. Eberechi Eze is looking to continue a run at the England squad for the World Cup, with Gareth Southgate likely to be taking note of his performances over the final four Premier League matches before the mid-season break.

Eze gives away a foul for a needless pull back of Gray on the half-way line. Palace have just lost their way a little bit towards the break.

Gray sees his corner cleared as far as Iwobi 20 yards from goal. He lines up a strike from distance on his left foot, but it sails comfortably over the bar.
