Everton vs Crystal Palace live preview FA Cup
Everton:
A group of three Everton players watched in complete astonishment as Chris Kavanagh reviewed a tackle by Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Nathaniel Clyne during the cup clash between Everton and Palace on January 4. Despite the striker making a high challenge that appeared to avoid causing serious harm to his opponent, Kavanagh controversially decided to brandish the red card. This incident became the focal point of the 0-0 draw in the English capital. However, the Eagles were unable to capitalize on the opportunity of playing the final 15 minutes with an extra player on the field.
Crystal Palace:
Certainly, Crystal Palace has experienced only one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions, and even then, Chelsea only narrowly edged out their London counterparts with a 2-1 victory. In this stretch, Hodgson's team has secured commendable results against Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion, along with a morale-boosting win over Brentford.However, a potential fourth FA Cup third-round exit in five seasons could dent confidence levels for Palace. Their winless streak on the road now extends to four matches. It's worth noting that their most recent FA Cup replay, during the 2016-17 season, concluded with a 2-1 success over Bolton Wanderers in the third round.
Analysis:
A 13-day break should have rejuvenated Crystal Palace's somewhat goal-shy attackers, while Everton, despite potentially dealing with tired legs, displayed commendable resilience in their recent match against title-chasing Aston Villa.As a result, it's plausible to expect goals from both sides this week. However, predicting a clear winner within the regular and extra time seems an insurmountable task. Everton has already faced defeat in a penalty shootout in the EFL Cup this season. Nevertheless, we now anticipate Dyche's team to learn from that disappointment and emerge victorious from the penalty spot in this upcoming encounter.
