Monday night sees a battle at the bottom as Everton host Crystal Palace with both teams desperate for points and the visitors having had a dramatic afternoon - first with Roy Hodgson resigning, following illness, and then Oliver Glasner being appointed as new manager - though he won’t be in the dugout.
The Toffees are in the bottom three and need victory tonight to leapfrog Luton Town, while Palace themselves are only five points clear of Everton. Follow the latest action from the Premier League below and see the latest match odds here.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Palace have only managed one shot since the game got under way, with the Eagles struggling to show any threat in the final third. The Toffees have produced five shots, but they are yet to test Johnstone between the sticks. It's been a game of little quality in attack for either side.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Palace have a free-kick in a promising position as Gueye trips Mitchell on the left, deep inside the Everton half. Wharton will be the player to take and he delivers towards the front post, but Doucoure will clear. It eventually comes to Andersen who crosses into the box, but Tarkowski gets his head to it and the Toffees can clear the danger.

Everton are pushing for the opener! McNeil turns and finds Mykolenko on the left-hand side. The Ukrainian left-back sends a first-time cross into the penalty area. Calvert-Lewin leaps above his marker but can't quite get to it, and Young fails to connect properly at the back post. He could only flick the ball away from danger.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Garner fires a pass into the feet of Calvert-Lewin, who turns expertly away from Lerma, and the Palace midfielder brings him down right on the edge of the box. McNeil and Garner are standing over it and the latter will take, but he whips it over the bar and into the stands behind the goal.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Pickford gets away with one! Andersen hits a long ball behind the Everton defensive line, and the goalkeeper rushes out of his box to deal with it. Pickford goes to clear the ball, but it cannons off Edouard. Thankfully for the England international, it flies off the side of the pitch for a throw-in to the Toffees.

So close to an opener for Everton! Garner flicks the ball into the feet of Doucoure, who does well to shift it out wide to McNeil. The winger whips a dangerous delivery into the penalty area towards Calvert-Lewin, who rises above Andersen and heads towards goal, but it whistles past the post and behind for a goal-kick.

Calvert-Lewin holds the ball up well and finds Garner, and Everton recycle possession. It comes to Tarkowski who sends a long ball towards Mykolenko, but Palace deal with it and Ayew clears. The Toffees come again and Tarkowski searches for McNeil's run in behind, but Andersen does well to head the ball back to his goalkeeper.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Another long ball from Pickford in behind sends McNeil and Ward chasing towards the Palace goal. The Eagles defender wins the battle, but his clearance is tame and it falls to Doucoure just outside the penalty area. The Everton midfielder strikes it from outside of the box, but it just goes wide of the post and behind for a goal-kick.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Wharton's throughball finds Mateta, but he's offside and Everton will have a free-kick. Pickford is there to take it and he sends it long in search of Calvert-Lewin, who has made a run in and behind the Palace defence. He's burst away from his marker, but he can't quite latch onto it and it falls to Johnstone.
Everton vs Crystal Palace
Chance for Palace! Branthwaite fails to clear the ball and Mateta can turn and drive towards the penalty area. He finds Edouard just inside the box, and the French striker gets it out of his feet and shifts it onto his left. He strikes it low and hard towards goal, but Pickford gets his body behind it and makes a comfortable save.
