Crystal Palacevs.Everton

All three missed the FA Cup win over Doncaster Rovers last week, and remain doubtful for this clash, but their setbacks are not thought to be serious.

Eze was only a substitute in Palace's last league outing away to Manchester United, and was then left out of the squad to face Doncaster in order to let his foot injury settle, heightening his chances of being available here.

Sarr is recovering from a virus, and Nketiah twisted his ankle last week, but both could also be available, with the former set to start alongside Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta if he can get over his sickness.

The three players who are confirmed absentees are Joel Ward, who has a calf strain, as well as Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure, who will both miss the rest of the season with respective knee injuries.

One player who returned from a long-term absence last week was England international Adam Wharton, who made his first start since October in the cup win, and should now be ready to return to full Premier League action.

Manager Oliver Glasner will also hope recent recruit Ben Chilwell can get up to full fitness following his move from Chelsea, where he barely had a kick in the first half of the campaign, but it will be tough for him to dislodge Tyrick Mitchell from the XI.

On the opposite flank, Colombian international Daniel Munoz has been in excellent form, contributing to a goal in each of Palace's last three games, including scoring the opener against Doncaster on Monday.

Matt Turner was given a rare opportunity in goal against the lower-league side, but despite keeping a clean sheet, regular number one Dean Henderson should return to the side for this one.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:

Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Eze
