Everton vs Crystal Palace 17.01.2024 Prediction: FA Cup

Match Overview

Everton and Crystal Palace take each other on in a match in the Emirates FA Cup at the Goodison Park Stadium in Liverpool on Wednesday. Both these teams have not been at their best in the Premier League this season, and this tournament affords them the opportunity to reset their plans and try to upset the more established sides.  

Key Highlights 

It must be noted that Everton haven't won a match in their last 6 attempts to do so. At the same time, Everton haven't lost to Crystal Palace in their last 5 meetings (3 wins and 2 draws). What will bother the home team, however, is that they haven't scored in their last 3 matches. This means that they have not been at their best in front of goal, which is not good news.  

Injury Report

Dele Alli and Ashley Young are the ones who will not be available for selection for Everton whereas for Crystal Palace, Sam Johnstone, Rob Holding and Joe Ward have been ruled out with injuries.

Prediction

We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Palace have had a good run of form in front of goal, and this will give them a lot of confidence. They will try to make sure that their attacks get formed from their midfielders, who have been far from their best this season. All in all, we can expect to see some goals being scored in this game for sure.
