Crystal Palace vs Everton
Everton travel to Crystal Palace on Saturday as they look to continue pushing for a Europa League spot.
The Toffees currently occupy 7th place, above Watford on goal difference.
However, Watford have a game in hand on Everton, as do 10th place Wolves who are just one point behind Marco Silva’s side.
Everton also have to face Tottenham in one of their final league games of the season so picking up a win vs Palace is a must if they want to stand any chance of qualifying for Europa League.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, are already safe from relegation and will have very little to play for vs Everton.

Digne & Richarlison updates
Everton’s last tie saw them face Manchester United on Sunday.
The Blues have been in great form recently, baring a 2-0 defeat to Championship bound Fulham last weekend.
They have also been in solid form against the top six clubs.
That form was once again on display vs United as Everton came away 4-0 winners.
Despite the superb result against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, Everton did suffer a few big blows on Sunday.
After opening the scoring Richarlison was subbed off in the 51st minute.
Then, after putting in a MOTM worthy display that included scoring from outside the box, Lucas Digne limped off in the 84th minute.
Marco Silva has since given an update on the duo.
While Silva doesn’t know the extent of Richarlison’s injury yet, Digne’s problem does seem to be quite minor.
