    Finally, Romelu Lukaku has his goal and Everton are level. Gerard Deulofeu gets to the byline and cuts the ball across for Lukaku to tap in from three yards.

    It's his 50th Everton goal in his 100th appearance for the Blues. 

    Anyone's game now.

    Everton 0-1 Crystal Palace

    Almost an instant response! For the third time tonight Everton hit the woodwork and for the second time it's Romelu Lukaku who is unlucky.

    The Belgian striker connects with a fierce left-foot shots but it thuds against the bar. Wayne Hennessey was well beaten.

    That is poor defending from Everton. It is actually a simple header in the end from Dann - he is the one who was determined to get on the end of it.

    Out of nowhere Palace take the lead and it's a really, really soft goal for Everton to concede.

    A corner comes over from the right and Scott Dann is left totally unmarked to head the visitors in front. 

    Woeful defending.

    Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace have offered little attacking threat in the last 10-15 minutes. Striker Dwight Gayle is getting ready to come on to offer fresh legs and, Palace will hope, fresh ideas.

    They need them.

    Who are the Premier League's most underrated?published at 21:28 Greenwich Mean Time 7 December 2015

    Who do you consider the Premier League's most under-rated foreign players - and why?  

    Danny Cheng: Easily, Bojan. Aka The Silent Playmaker. So intelligent on and off the ball. Stoke always look a different side when he plays

    Douglas Lason: Lucas no question. Always gets the job done with no fuss, and easily Liverpool's most consistent player this season.

    Mamadi Sirleaf: Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko is very underrated in the EPL, he's the main engine behind all of the team victories this season.

    The pressure building from Everton, who win two corners in quick succession. Finally a good delivery from Ross Barkley but no-one can get on the end of it.

    Gerard Deulofeu then takes another corner from the right but it's under-hit and is greeted by Goodison groans.

    Gerard Deulofeu dilly-dallying but not getting a shot away when the opportunity arose after he danced into the penalty area.

    Tom Cleverley then tries his luck again from the edge of the box but doesn't make such sweet contact this time.

    Tom Cleverley with a really sweet volley that Wayne Hennessey dives full stretch to his left to turn behind with his fingertips. Superb stop.

    Some nice link-up play involving Ross Barkley and Romelu Lukaku in the build-up.

    Everton getting closer. They look the most likely to make the breakthrough.

    Baines is one of the best players I've played with. The reason why he's come on is to add more attacking impetus.

    Everton's Leighton Baines is on for his first league appearance of the season after recovering from a long-term ankle problem.

    He replaces fellow left-back Brendan Galloway.

    Palace just dropped a bit too deep. It's an excellent ball from Barkley and it was unfortunate for Everton that it bounced off the bar.

  16. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 61 mins

    Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Connor Wickham nearly scores again - this time for Everton!

    Ross Barkley whips in a wicked free-kick from the left and the ball flicks off the back of Wickham's head and bounces back off the bar.

    Will we ever have a goal this evening? I mean, is it really too much to ask?

    Still goalless in the tie between Grimsby and Shrewsbury - updates here.

    The game is stretched now and Tim Howard does well to keep out Yannick Bolasie, who runs from deep and gets away from John Stones.

    Much more like it. Warming up nicely now.

    Who do you consider the Premier League's most under-rated foreign players - and why?  

    Josh: Kante and Christian Fuchs both have been a massive reason as to why Leicester are first.

    Harison Saunders: Moussa Dembele. Been so solid this season and has improved a lot since last year.   

    sViera: Fonte for Southampton. Very solid defender and captain. Apparently made Lovren look like a £20m centre half.

    The TV coverage has just shown a replay of Everton skipper Gareth Barry pulling the shirt of Palace counterpart Mile Jedinak at the corner.

    Now THAT was a foul. The home team lucky to get away with that one.
