Crystal Palace vs Everton
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Selhurst Park
Date: Saturday, April 27, 2019
Kick-off time: 3pm BST
Crystal Palace and Everton meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday with both teams heading into the game off the back of arguably their best results of the Premier League season.
Palace stunned Arsenal with a 3-2 victory at the Emirates last Sunday to seal their top-flight survival for another season, while Everton humiliated Manchester United 4-0 at Goodison Park.
With both teams enjoying their football and with the pressure off, the Selhurst crowd will hopefully be treated to a game featuring two attack-minded teams full of confidence and form.
Crystal Palace vs Everton team news and predicted line-ups
Palace will be without Mamadou Sakho (knee), Jeffrey Schlupp (ankle) and James Tomkins (groin) for the rest of the season, and Roy Hodgson is likely to persist with the same XI which beat Arsenal.
Everton forward Richarlison is a major doubt because of a rib injury he suffered during last weekend's 4-0 drubbing of Manchester United.
The Brazilian's replacement at Goodison Park last Sunday, Theo Walcott, is struggling with sickness while midfielder Andre Gomes serves the second game of a three-match suspension.
Lucas Digne has recovered from a knock he picked up late on against United while fellow defender Yerry Mina is back in full training following a hamstring injury that has sidelined him for a month.
Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Kelly, Dann, Wan Bissaka, Meyer, McArthur, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Zaha, Benteke
Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Schneiderlin, Gueye, McCarthy, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin
Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-2 Everton
Everton are still battling for a top-seven finish. The lowest the Toffees will realistically finish is 11th, so they will head to south London looking for goals.
Palace are safe and can enjoy the final three games of the season, but have faint hopes of a top-10 finish and will also be out to attack on Saturday - so expect an entertaining battle with a few goals.
