Everton vs. Crystal Palace Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Everton vs. Crystal Palace

In one of the two exclusive all-Premier League FA Cup third-round replays, Everton and Crystal Palace will face each other again at Goodison Park on Wednesday.

Despite being reduced to 10 men, the Toffees held firm for a goalless draw at Selhurst Park in the initial encounter. The winner of this rematch will face either Luton Town or Bolton Wanderers later this month.

During the cup clash between Everton and Palace on January 4, a trio of Toffees players expressed bewilderment as Chris Kavanagh reviewed a challenge from Dominic Calvert-Lewin on Nathaniel Clyne.

Despite the striker’s high tackle appearing to avoid serious harm to his opponent, Kavanagh controversially brandished a red card, becoming the focal point of the 0-0 affair in the English capital.

Although the Eagles had the advantage of an extra man on the pitch for the final 15 minutes, they failed to capitalize. Everton later succeeded in appealing Calvert-Lewin’s red card, sparking further discussion in the ongoing VAR debate. In a subsequent goalless draw with Aston Villa, Sean Dyche’s team experienced a positive outcome from a technological call.

What to remember – Everton vs. Crystal Palace

After a 13-day break, Palace’s goal-shy attackers should benefit, while Wednesday’s hosts may experience some fatigue despite their resilient performance against Aston Villa. Expect goals from both sides, but determining a winner within regular and extra time seems challenging. Although Everton faced penalty shootout heartache in the EFL Cup, we anticipate Dyche’s side to learn from that experience and emerge victorious from the spot this time.
