Ronald Koeman has also given an insight into his thinking on the inclusion of Tom Cleverley in midfield...

Alan Pardew has been talking to the Palace media team about his team selection. But I don't think his words will be much consolation for Yohan Cabaye...

Just the single change for the visitors from the 3-2 comeback win at Sunderland last weekend.

Everton manager Ronald Koeman keeps faith with most of the team which lost 1-0 at Bournemouth last weekend.

Just the one change by the Dutchman as midfielder Tom Cleverley comes in for Belgium winger Kevin Mirallas. 

Expect to see Ross Barkley playing further forward in support of striker Romelu Lukaku, who has shaken off a toe injury.

BBC Radio 5 live sports extra

Want to listen to live commentary of tonight's game at Goodison? You're in luck. BBC Radio 5 live sports extra will be lobbing the whole match into your ears from 20:00 BST.

John Acres is joined by ex-Everton winger Kevin Kilbane. As an added bonus, Alastair Yeomans is on duty to provide updates on 5 live. He'll have a job on getting much air time, though. You may have heard that there is a pretty big golf event taking place over the pond.

Romelu Lukaku is fit to start for Everton. Tom Cleverley comes in for Kevin Mirallas. Yannick Bolasie starts against his former club.

Wilfried Zaha is fit for Palace, who have gone for an attacking side also featuring Jason Puncheon, Andros Townsend and Christian Benteke.

Well check you out Crystal Palace!

I think even a man with the cast-iron self-confidence of Alan Pardew would admit that the Eagles had a pretty average season in 2015-16. Yes, they got to the FA Cup final but 15th place in the league was below expectation.

After a ropey start to this campaign things have taken an upward turn in the league in recent weeks with three straight wins in September, including coming from two goals down to snatch a last-gasp win at Sunderland last time out. It's the kind of result that gets Pards dancing on the touchline again.

After going unbeaten over the first six matches of Koeman's reign, Everton have lost the last two - at home to Championship side Norwich in the EFL Cup and then  at Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Not a disaster, but the Dutchman will be keen to arrest the mini slide to try and eke another little bit of time out of his honeymoon period and keep up the feelgood factor around Goodison Park.

Bouncebackability. The word was coined by ex-Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie to refer to, as you imagine, a team or individual's ability to bounce back.

Tonight, we get to see if Ronald Koeman has managed, in the brief time he has been in charge, to instill such a quality in his Everton side.

The opponents? Dowie's former employer.
