Match Stats
Crystal Palace:
Crystal Palace ended their eight-game winless streak in the Premier League on a high note, securing a 3-1 victory over Brentford at Selhurst Park. Despite falling behind early to a Keane Lewis-Potter goal, two strikes from Michael Olise and a goal from Eberechi Eze allowed the Eagles to claim three crucial points, lifting them to 14th place and creating a six-point gap from the relegation zone. As they shift their focus to the FA Cup, Palace aims to improve their recent mixed performance in the competition, having been eliminated in the third round four times in the last six years but reaching the semi-finals in 2021-22. In their upcoming clash with Everton, a team they've struggled against in the FA Cup, Palace seeks to replicate their dominant 4-0 victory in March 2022.

Everton:
While Everton initially showed promise under manager Sean Dyche with seven wins in nine games, their momentum faltered with four consecutive defeats, including a disappointing 3-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Toffees currently sit 16th in the Premier League, just one point above the relegation zone. The upcoming league fixtures pose a tough challenge, prompting Everton to welcome the FA Cup break. However, recent success in the competition against top-flight opponents has been elusive, with seven losses in their last nine such ties, including all four away games. Despite their struggles in London and a winless streak in the FA Cup, Everton's favorable recent record against Crystal Palace, including a 3-2 victory in November, provides a glimmer of hope as they enter Thursday's contest.

Analysis:
Crystal Palace is concerned about the fitness of star winger Olise, who suffered a suspected muscle problem in the recent win over Brentford. Long-term absentees include Doucoure and Rak-Sakyi, while Johnstone, Holding, and Ward aim to return later this month. Edouard is in contention with Mateta for a starting spot, and players like Hughes, Schlupp, Riedewald, and Franca hope to feature. Everton faces absences with Gueye, Young, and Alli, while Doucoure is doubtful. Dyche might switch to a four-man defense, with Keane or Braithwaite potentially making way. Gomes or Doucoure could partner Garner and Onana, while Beto, Danjuma, Dobbin, and Chermiti seek starting opportunities.
