Calvert-Lewin available for Everton v Palace after red from cup tie overturned

The first match at Selhurst Park ended 0-0, with neither side playing well or looking remotely threatening.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin was sent off for an innocuous challenge on Nathaniel Clyne after a VAR review.

However, the striker's three-match ban was overturned by the FA after an appeal from Sean Dyche's men.

The winner of this tie will host Luton or Bolton in the fourth round.

This could lead to yet another points deduction, which would leave Everton in deep relegation trouble, which means a cup run could become an unwelcome distraction.

However, the fans will still be more than up for this and you can expect some form of anti-Premier League display or chants from the Goodison faithful.
