Crystal Palace will invite Everton to Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Saturday. Palace are in 12th place in the standings with 30 points, three more than the visitors, who are in 15th place.
The hosts have been in good touch recently and have won five of their last six games while keeping clean sheets. They met Manchester United in their previous league outing and registered a 2-0 away win thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta's second-half brace.
They continued their form in the FA Cup fourth-round meeting against Doncaster Rovers with another 2-0 away win earlier this week. Daniel Muñoz scored in the first half and Justin Devenny doubled their lead after the break.
Trending
The Toffees are winless in their last two games. They lost 2-0 at home to Bournemouth in the FA Cup fourth round last week but held arch-rivals Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Wednesday. Late drama ensued as both teams had a player sent off in stoppage time after James Tarkowski's equalizer.

Crystal Palace vs Everton Prediction
The Eagles are on a two-game winning run, though both wins were registered in away games. Interestingly, they have registered just one win in their last seven Premier League home games. They have lost five of their last eight meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.
Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are long-term absentees while Eddie Nketiah and Eberechi Eze are major doubts.
The Toffees are winless in their last two games, conceding two goals apiece, and will look to improve upon that record. They have won just two of their last 22 Premier League away games.
Orel Mangala is a long-term absentee while Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are expected to be back next month. David Moyes will be without the services of Abdoulaye Doucoure, who was sent off against Liverpool and will serve a one-game ban here.
Palace have won five of their last six games and should make the most of Everton's poor away record in the league to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Everton
