The FA Cup third round draw is taking place right now and Everton have been drawn at home to Dagenham and Redbridge or non-league Whitehawk. 

Not a great draw for Crystal Palace - away to fellow Premier League side Southampton.

Catch the draw here.

A place in the top six of the Premier League is on offer for the winners tonight.

Palace, currently, eighth, actually only need a draw to climb to sixth.

Both sides should be feeling good - Everton (11th in the table) are unbeaten in six games in all competitions while Palace thrashed Newcastle 5-1 last time out.

Crystal Palace also make just the one change, with skipper Mile Jedinak making his first Premier League start of the season.

The suspended Wilfried Zaha drops out.

James McArthur is expected to play in the hole behind Connor Wickham, with Jason Puncheon shifting out wide to fill in for Zaha.

One change for the home team from their previous league game against Bournemouth with Tom Cleverley replacing James McCarthy, who has a groin injury.

Time to turn our attention to Merseyside and tonight's Premier League match Everton and Crystal Palace and Goodison Park.

Team news coming up shortly...

Bastian Schweinsteiger says United will be fine once they have a change in fortune.

“We’re doing an unbelievable job defensively but we have to be determined to score. I’m convinced we can change it," he says.

“We keep creating chances, we need a little bit of luck to score.”

German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is also taking part in the news conference and believes Manchester United can get the better of Wolfsburg again, having beaten them at Old Trafford in September.

He said: “There is no big pressure on us. We know we need to win - we can only think about beating Wolfsburg.

“We did it in Manchester and it won’t be easy but I am convinced that we will have a good game tomorrow.”

Despite four goalless draws in nine matches, the message from Louis van Gaal is that his side will soon find the target.

He said: "I have the experience as a manager that the goals shall come, because when you are creating chances at the end you will score and finish those chances.

"It’s a matter of time and I hope we can prove that tomorrow.”

With Wayne Rooney absent with an injured ankle, Van Gaal says Manchester United cannot rely on Anthony Martial.

“He’s very talented but only 20 years old. We must give him time - I’m convinced he’ll score at the right moments," says Van Gaal.

“You cannot expect a player of 20 years old to score in the Premier League every week.”

Despite some mixed results recently, Louis van Gaal says he is happy with his side's performances.

"I am pleased with the squad, when I have to reconsider our season I will say our matches against Arsenal and Crystal Palace were the matches when we were not the better team," he says.

“I know that we must score goals. As a manager I know we must score but when you ask about the performance as a team, I am satisfied.”

Louis van Gaal's news conference has started and you can't argue with the Manchester United manager's opening statement.

"It is very important for the club and the players to continue in the Champions League," he says.   

"You have to prove yourselves, as a club, as a team and as players. We can't rely on the result of the other game."  

If PSV were beaten by CSKA Moscow tomorrow, United would go through even if they lost against Wolfsburg. But that's a big if.

Louis will be with us shortly. Honest.

Don't forget, we have the FA Cup third-round draw coming up as well, from 19:00 GMT.

Our live text coverage is already under way - get involved and tell us who your side's dream draw would be.

Follow the build-up and the draw itself here.

Manchester United came from behind to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 at Old Trafford in September but that was one of only two wins from their Champions League Group B campaign so far.

They have travelled to Germany without injured striker Wayne Rooney (ankle) and midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.

Schneiderlin, 26, was forced off against West Ham with a hip problem.

United will also be without injured defenders Phil Jones (ankle) and Marcos Rojo (shoulder), and midfielder Ander Herrera (hamstring).

It's been fairly uninspired fare at Manchester United recently with five 0-0 draws in their past nine games, most recently against West Ham at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday. 

A goalless draw in their previous Champions League outing, at home to PSV two weeks ago, means the Dutch side would grab second spot from United if they draw or defeat CSKA Moscow on Tuesday and United fail to win in Wolfsburg.

If that came to pass, it would mean the Europa League in the new year for Louis van Gaal's side, as happened in 2011-12.

And they really don't want that.

An early start to our live text coverage and while our main focus tonight will be the Premier League meeting between Everton and Crystal Palace at Goodison Park at 20:00 GMT, we begin by following Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal and his news conference before Tuesday's decisive Champions League tie in Germany against group leaders Wolfsburg.

With his side only a point ahead of third-placed PSV Eindhoven, a win may be required to avoid a group-stage exit from Europe's premier club competition. 

No pressure, Louis.
