Goodison Park to host the 3rd round FA Cup replay between the Toffees and the Eagles

As many as eight fixtures in the FA Cup Third Round ended as a draw. This means they have to go at it once again in a replay fixture. Selhurst Park Stadium hosted one such game between Crystal Palace and Everton. The Palace side failed to make the home advantage count as the game ended 0-0.

Now the Merseyside club will get a chance to use the home advantage as the replay fixture is set to be played at Goodison Park. The last game also saw a red card to forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton’s side. Calvert-Lewin’s red has been overturned and will be available to try his luck once again in front of the net.

Location: Goodison Park

Form

Everton (in all competitions): D-D-L-L-L

Players to Watch

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton)

The striker was shown a red card last time and was expected to serve a 3-match ban for violent conduct. But the decision has been overturned after Everton decided to appeal. Dominic Calvert-Lewin should be highly motivated to make use of that decision wisely.

Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace)

Dean Henderson continues to show his mettle after coming back from injury. Henderson played the full 90 minutes in the original fixture and made 3 successful stops as well. The former Manchester United keeper will be the silent guardian in Roy Hodgson’s starting lineup.

Injury & Team News

Good news for the hosts as Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s red card has been overturned. The striker will be available for selection. Abdoulaye Doucoure featured in the Aston Villa game in the Premier League so will be available this time out.

The visitors on the other hand have no new injury concerns. The only player nearing a comeback from injury is Michael Olise. Olise still has a few days to be fully fit after a hamstring injury.

Match Prediction for Everton vs Crystal Palace

After a 0-0 game originally in the FA Cup 3rd round, this game should at least see one goal in it. Everton have the home advantage plus Calvert-Lewin’s red card has been overturned. Abdoulaye Doucouré and Co. should win it and progress further in the competition although not so convincingly.
