Any optimistic Crystal Palace supporters buoyed by a rare midweek win in the FA Cup will be wary that a dreadlocked Andy Preece scored Crystal Palace’s last winner against Everton at Selhurst Park, and that was almost 23 years ago. The current side have not even managed a goal when welcoming these opponents in this latest four-year stint in the top flight, which makes this fixture a daunting prospect. Sam Allardyce would have liked more additions than just Jeffrey Schlupp to throw in for a home debut. These are troubling times. Dominic Fifield
