Everton will look to move within two points of the Premier League’s top four when they welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park tonight.
After Chelsea’s shock 5-2 defeat to West Brom on Saturday, a win for Carlo Ancelotti’s men would move them fifth, a couple of points off the Champions League places with a game in hand.
Crystal Palace’s Premier League status is virtually secure for another season, and they would reach the 40-point threshold with a win at the Toffees.
Everton have been hit by inconsistency this season, losing to Burnley in their last home fixture, but will be aiming to put their struggles at Goodison behind them with three points.
