Crystal Palace v Everton: FA Cup quarter-final preview

Crystal Palace v Everton
Crystal Palace v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

Everton would give their season another much-needed shot in the arm if they can overcome Crystal Palace and book a day out at Wembley. Alex Iwobi’s late winner against Newcastle on Thursday lifted some of the gloom at Goodison Park and Frank Lampard will hope to build some momentum by reaching the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 2016. It is six years since Palace reached the semi-finals, too, and Patrick Vieira will be keen to add some gloss to an already impressive first season at Selhurst Park with Cup success. They have already beaten Everton 3-1 at home this season and will start as strong favourites. Stephen Hollis
