Crystal Palace vs Everton – FA Cup third-round: Live score, team news and updates as Roy Hodgson names a strong side to take on the Toffees as Eagles look to secure a place in the fourth-round

Update from our reporter Kieran Gill who is at the stadium tonight, and the rain doesn’t look like it’s going to stop any time soon.

In any event we could be in for a big game of football tonight with both side’s fielding strong sides!

Kieran said: ‘At Selhurst Park (a drenched Selhurst Park) for Crystal Palace and Everton. Strong side from Sean Dyche, including Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil, Jarrad Branthwaite, Amadou Onana, etc.’

Coleman came off the bench to feature during Everton’s 3-0 defeat by Wolves last week, having also played during their win against Newcastle earlier in December.

He’ll tie Jack Taylor’s record for the outfield player to feature in the most FA Cup campaigns for the club at 14.

Roy Hodgson has named a strong squad for tonight’s clash against Everton.

He’ll make two changes from their side that beat Brentford, with Jeffrey Schlupp coming in for Jordan Ayew up top, while Michael Olise misses out on tonight’s match with Matheus França dropping into midfield.

After an injury hampered season, Coleman is back to start today for the Toffees and will also captain the side.

Sean Dyche has made several changes to the team that was beaten by Wolves last week.

Pickford is out for Virginia, Coleman comes in for Patterson, Keane drops out with Danjuma coming in for McNeil.

I’m seeing lots of chatter that Seamus Coleman could be in line to make an appereance for Everton tonight.

The Everton captain could make his 412th appearance for the club, putting him two behing Everton’s all-time leading appearance maker, Tim Howard.

Coleman could have surpassed that record much earlier but has been out of action for the majority of the 2023-24 season after suffering a knee ligament injury back in May.

Roy Hodgeson hit out at talk of being sacked following Crystal Palace’s win against Brentford last week, branding the talk ‘disrespectful’

‘I tell you what I really think,’ Hodgson said. ‘I’m 76. I’ve been working for 47 years. I’ve got a CBE for my services to football. I’ve got a CV which is incredible.

‘So I’m afraid my answer to you is that makes no difference or is of any interest to me at all and to suggest it should is disrespectful. That’s what I think.’

Pressure has been mounting on the Palace boss after his side had gone eight games without a win heading into last week’s game against Brentford.

A win today could again be pivotal for the Eagles boss as they look to book their place in the fourth round.

Palace will wear their fourth kit for tonight’s game against Everton, who are also wearing their grey third kit.

But Roy Hodgsons’ side have only beaten the Toffees once in their last five meetings.

Interestingly that was a huge 4-0 win back in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, where Guehi, Mateta, Zaha and Hughes all scored to help the Eagles progress to the semi-finals.

Roy Hodgson’s side have arrived at Selhurst Park ahead of the game.

They’ll be looking to pick up from where they left off against Brentford earlier in the week after besting Thomas Frank’s side 3-1.

It was their first win in eight Premier League appearances, with the Eeagles notably having also claimed draws against Brighton, Man City and West Ham in that time.

The rain has been pouring down in south London all day and referee Chris Kavanagh has been out inspecting the playing surface at Selhurst Park.

We’re approximately 80 minutes now away from kick-off so hopefully things will go ahead!

It’s a windy and wet night at Selhurst Park, with Crystal Palace looking to claim their second successive win in all competitions against Everton tonight in the third-round of the FA Cup.

Storm Henk has blasted its way through south London in the last few days and does not seem to be relenting, with the rain pouring down over the roof of the stands here at Selhurst Park.

Despite that, we’re in for a huge night of action, with both teams in need of a win as they look to book their place in the fourth round of the tournament.

We’ll have live updates, commentary coming your way over the course of the next few hours, so make sure to not go anywhere!
