Everton are unbeaten in eight meetings with Crystal Palace, with the Eagles claiming victory from just two of their 23 encounters since 2014. Both victories came at Selhurst. Interestingly, this duo have played out six goalless draws in South London since 2013!
Crystal Palace vs Everton Preview
After a famous Merseyside derby on Wednesday night, can Everton avoid this trip to South London being something that fits into the category of after the lord mayor's show?
In mid-week, the Toffees welcomed fierce rivals to Goodison Park for the last time, and the derby certainly did not disappoint.
Beto broke the deadlock early, tucking home a well-worked set-piece routine, but Liverpool looked set to claim victory, scoring twice, thereby leading into stoppage time.
However, in the seventh minute of five added on, James Tarkowski lashed into the top corner, rescuing a 2-2 draw, sparking wild celebrations and even a pitch invasion.
This means David Moyes' men have collected ten points from their last four matches, catapulting themselves away from danger, so can they extend their unbeaten streak?
As for Crystal Palace, they were most-recently in action on Monday night, booking their place in the FA Cup fifth round by beating Doncaster Rovers 2-0. Daniel Muñoz and youngster Justin Devenny were on target either side of half time in South Yorkshire.
This means they'll face fierce South London rivals Millwall in the next round, a tie the majority of the Palace support will relish.
In the Premier League, the Eagles are soaring, defeating Manchester United 2-0 during their most recent outing, thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's brace at Old Trafford.
Overall, Oliver Glasner's side have now won four of their last six, losing just three of 16 outings since mid-October more broadly, all of which have come at home, which is a concern, but they'll be confident of victory come Saturday evening.

Crystal Palace Team News
Oliver Glasner named a strong side against Doncaster, as he has consistently done in both domestic cup competitions, so very few changes are forecast here.
One will come in goal, where Dean Henderson will return. Ismaïla Sarr and Romain Esse could form part of the front three, especially if star man Eberechi Eze is still sidelined due to a foot injury.
New signing Ben Chilwell made his Palace debut on Monday, introduced at half time, although it's now 326 days since he started a match for anyone, hoping to change that fact soon, although he'll have to dislodge Tyrick Mitchell. Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré remain sidelined.
Eddie Nketiah could be back on the bench, after sitting out the FA Cup tie due to a knock.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Everton: (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Guéhi, Lacroix; Muñoz, Hughes, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Esse, Mateta.

Everton Team News
Abdoulaye Doucouré was sent off after full time on Wednesday, so is suspended, meaning either fit-again Tim Iroegbunam or new signing Carlos Alcaraz will come into midfield.
In a further blow, top-scorer Iliman Ndiaye hobbled off in the first half against Liverpool, joining Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti in the treatment room. Due to limited options, Jack Harrison will come in out-wide.
Everton predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (4-3-3): Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gana Gueye, Garner, Iroegbunam, Lindstrøm, Harrison; Beto.
