Crystal Palace vs Everton Prediction
Crystal Palace have done well this season. They are 11th in the league, an impressive feat considering they were among the favourites to be relegated before the season began. Young talents like Marc Guehi, Conor Gallagher and Michael Olise have all thrived.
Congratulations to Marc Guéhi, who has received his first call up to the #ThreeLions squad! 👏 https://t.co/6pAi6tMqMr
Everton, on the other hand, are fighting to stay in the top flight. They are 17th in the league, three points ahead of 18th-placed Watford with two games in hand. Given the state of their league campaign, one might wonder whether manager Frank Lampard thinks of the FA Cup as unnecessary pressure.
Crystal Palace to win.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-0 Everton
