    Eze clearly dives there.

    There is a bit of contact from Onana as he goes past but not nearly enough to send him down. Correct decision to award the yellow card.

    Palace haven't had too much going forward.

    Everton are asking questions but the long ball and those diagonals from James Tarkowski aren't coming off at the moment.

    A slow burner...

    Eberechi Eze is in the book for a dive! He throws himself to the floor claiming contact from Amadou Onana and gets the right punishment for simulation.

    The kit Crystal Palace are wearing is a limited edition one, it will be worn once in a competitive match. The profits from the sales and of the auctioned match-worn kits will go to the club's foundation.

    Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen have had a few long balls to deal with in the wind with Dominic Calvert-Lewin looking to get in behind again. Strong start from the Palace defenders though.

    It's wet. Very, very wet this evening.

    There is a swirl of wind around the stadium too, which is making the conditions that bit worse.

    Jefferson Lerma gives Seamus Coleman a chase on the left but the full-back puts it out of play, taking no chances.

    Amadou Onana then wins a free-kick in the corner when he stops Eberechi Eze escaping. Good defending.

    Jean-Philippe Mateta is almost played in by Eberechi Eze but João Virgínia gathers it in.

    Dominic Calvert-Lewin is then caught offside up the other end.

    Everton are looking to play that through ball for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. On a few occasions already Marc Guehi has read it and intercepted calmly.

    You look at the last 18 months to two years Dominic Calvert-Lewin has struggled to stay fit and play regularly. The injuries and the setbacks he has had time and time again must have been very tough for him.

    If he can get a longer period in the team and stay fit, he can get back to the form that saw him become their main striker.

    It pops up nicely for Jeffrey Schlupp after Palace make headway on the left and he hits it on the half-volley.

    It bounces up awkwardly for João Virgínia in the Everton goal but he manages to keep hold of it.

    Arnaut Danjuma tries to slide it through to Jack Harrison but the pass is way overcooked.

    Will be interesting to see how Everton approach this. Surely they will go hard from the start given they have a strong side out.

    Both teams have named strong line ups for this game. Due to the winter break there’s a decent gap until they both play next in the Premier League.

    The key for Everton this season is that they have Sean Dyche at the helm.

    He has experience of keeping teams in the Premier League, knowing when your backs are against the wall he has the knowledge of how to make his team fight and rally together and get results.

    They have some real individual quality in the squad, and the important thing is keeping the vast majority of them fit.

  20. Everton 'unlikely' to be busy in marketpublished at 19:46 Greenwich Mean Time 4 January 2024

    Sean Dyche says Everton are "unlikely to be busy" in the transfer window.

    In September, Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake to American investment fund 777 Partners, but the deal is yet to go through.

    "To do any deal the club has to be in the situation to do so. We managed to rebalance the squad the best we could in the summer, and the situation now is similar," said Dyche.

    "At this moment in time, it is unlikely to be busy. The deal hasn't gone through yet [with the new owners] They've been up front with us and I've had a casual chat with them.

    "It's reality. They're trying to be truthful. Until it's a done deal, we can promise all sorts - but there's no point in doing that. I like facts."
