Everton Team News

Chris Kavanagh stirred controversy by showing a controversial red card to Dominic Calvert-Lewin during the cup clash between Everton and Palace on January 4. Despite a successful appeal, this incident sparked a debate about VAR.

Everton then played a goalless draw against Aston Villa, ending a three-game losing streak in the Premier League. The team has struggled to score in the last three matches, but they have a strong record in the FA Cup at Goodison Park.

Dwight McNeil, initially feared to have a serious ankle injury, surprisingly found himself on the bench against Villa. Although Calvert-Lewin is available again, Dele Alli and Ashley Young remain sidelined, while Idrissa Gueye is on duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. McNeil could get a chance to start, and Beto and Andre Gomes might receive valuable minutes. Joao Virginia could replace Jordan Pickford in goal.

Despite current challenges, Everton is seeking a return to a winning streak, with hopes of a successful performance in the FA Cup.

Crystal Palace Team News

While Everton exerted themselves for over 90 minutes last weekend, Palace had a free weekend to contemplate their shortcomings from the first encounter with the Toffees. Despite the failure against a ten-man Everton, Palace showed improvement compared to their defeat in November. The Eagles have a good run with just one loss in their last five matches.

Although a return to the FA Cup quarterfinals after four seasons would be motivating, four consecutive away losses could shake their confidence. Everton has a favorable historical record against Palace, winning the previous two FA Cup replays, although those encounters date back to past centuries.

Considering the lack of Premier League commitments over the weekend, coach Roy Hodgson will likely stick with the same lineup as in the first match. Rob Holding and Sam Johnstone could return from injuries. However, Michael Olise, Cheick Doucoure, Joel Ward, and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi remain absent, while Jordan Ayew’s departure to the Africa Cup of Nations gave Matheus Franca an opportunity, though Hodgson admits the youngster wasn’t pleased with his performance.
