Crystal Palace star singles out two 'fantastic' Everton players to watch

Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi has highlighted two "fantastic" Everton players the Eagles will be particularly wary of this weekend.

The Blues head to Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon with somewhat more momentum than in previous weeks thanks to their 2-1 victory over Arsenal on Monday night.

That broke a run of nine Premier League matches without a win, stretching back to September, and put smiles back on the faces of fans however briefly.

The work does not stop for Rafa Benitez's side though and they will be looking to take all three points once more in a tricky match against Palace.

Guehi is expecting a tough game this weekend, and thinks that Richarlison and the returning Andros Townsend are two players in particular he and his teammates must focus on stopping.

He told PLP [via LondonNewsOnline ]: “We understand that they’re going to come in with high spirits after their win, but we’re going into the game with the belief that we can get a result from this game.

"Just like other teams, they have got a set-piece threat, and they have got fantastic players such as Richarlison and Andros Townsend, who is coming back.

“We are very aware of what they can offer, but we have also got good players ourselves, and we will be going into that game with a lot of confidence.

“In the team, there is so much spirit and confidence in what we have done before and earlier on in the season that we just have to take it into this game.”
