Live coverage of Everton vs Crystal Palace in the Premier League from Goodison Park, including details on how to watch the game on TV and stream, predicted team, injury news and latest score updates
Hello, and welcome to football.london's live coverage of Crystal Palace's trip to face Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
Roy Hodgson's side have not played for three weeks after an intense run of fixtures before the international break, and will be hoping that the rest will leave them refreshed ahead of a tough run in to the end of the season.
Palace went into the break with a win over West Brom, and face an Everton side looking to get back on track after two straight defeats.
We'll have all the build up live from Goodison Park, including all the details on how to watch the game live on TV and by stream, plus live updates and analysis.
Key Events
Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace
It's all over - but the drama isn't.
There's a big huddle on the pitch after the final whistle, and the referee is having a big talk with Wilfried Zaha, Luka Milivojevic and Ben Godfrey.
Not quite sure what it's about, but the talking with Zaha goes on until almost everyone else has left the pitch.
Still, a well-earned point for Palace as Hodgson made positive subs to try and force an opening.
Stoppage time
Four minutes added.
GOAL! Everton 1-1 PALACE (Batshuayi)!!!
Great work from Palace. Milivojevic finds Schlupp in space in a central area. He turns to slot Batshuayi in behind and he takes one touch before firing low past Olsen on his left foot.
Almost
Batshuayi is played in, but can't bring the ball under control first time and it's blocked away.
Wide
Good move down the left, but Schlupp drags a shot wide of goal from inside the area.
Batshuayi comes on to replace Ayew.
Fantastic save
It looks for all the world that Everton are adding a second, but Guaita produces a phenomenal save to push Richarlison's bouncing effort over the bar.
Sub
James Rodriguez off, Gbamin on.
Sub
Benteke is the man coming off, Mateta on.
Cleared
Eze whips in a great cross, but Calvert-Lewin is up well to clear.
Subs
Coleman off and Godfrey on for Everton.
Mateta is about to come on for Palace, but they're waiting until after a corner.
All go
Schlupp comes on for Riedewald and immediately finds an overlapping Van Aanholt.
The left-back has two bites at the cherry but can't find a teammate.
Shot
Ayew turns and fires from range, but it's a simple save for Olsen down to his left.
Almost
Zaha capitalises on a mistake, breaking and running at the defnce, chopping onto his left foot to get a strike away, but Keane manages to get a block on it and take the sting out for Olsen.
Save
Palace keep the ball alive after a free-kick and Eze hits a stinging shot at goal but Olsen beats it away.
It should be 2-0
Richarlison slots Calvert-Lewin in down the middle, but he puts his shot straight at Guaita.
Goal! Everton (Rodriguez) 1-0 Palace
A good move from Everton down the left as Richarlison plays in Digne.
He puts the ball across the box and Guaita somehow stops it going in, but Everton recycle it and Rodriguez sweeps it low into the corner.
Corner
Palace want a free-kick for a push by Calvert-Lewin - not doing.
Sigurdsson has a strike and Kouyate does well to block behind for a corner.
The referee has a chat with Milivojevic and Zaha while we wait for the corner, both players looking frustrated.
Rodriguez delivers a tantalising cross, but nobody can get on the end of it and it's out for a goal-kick.
Penalty shout
Eze goes down clutching his ankle, but Holgate got a good portion of the ball.
Zaha lays it to Van Aanholt, but he can't wrap his foot around it to put his cross/shot on target.
Kick off
No changes for either side.
Everton 0-0 Crystal Palace
A fairly even half, though Everton did create the best chances.
An encouraging 45 minutes from Palace - no signs of rust despite three weeks away.
Over
Another chance for Everton, but again Richarlison heads over, this time from a free-kick by James Rodriguez.
Free-kick
Kouyate gives away a cheap free-kick on Richarlison a yard or two from the area.
Sigurdsson and Richarlison stand over it with the Brazilian going for the far corner, but he hits it high and wide.
Blocked again
Another good move. Zaha goes down the left and puts in a cross which is half cleared. Benteke takes on a shot from the edge of the area when perhaps a pass to an unmarked Ayew would have been better. It's blocked up in the air and Olsen prevents a corner.
Blocked
A little lucky for Zaha, who fouls James Rodriguez after losing the ball to him, but there's nothing given.
Ayew goes on to take a shot from distance, but it's blocked.
