Crystal Palace, in 14th place, are seeking to bounce back after successive home defeats to Southampton and Sheffield United.

Everton's Fabian Delph serves a one-match suspension after his red card at Watford last weekend.

Andre Gomes (ankle) remains on target to return later this month following a lengthy spell sidelines. The Toffees are also hopeful that Jean-Philippe Gbamin (thigh) will feature before the end of the season.

Martin Kelly (calf) and Cenk Tosun (hamstring) are ruled out for Crystal Palace. If fit, Everton loanee Tosun would have been ineligible to face his parent club.

Jeffrey Schlupp (muscle) and Mamadou Sakho (hamstring) remain sidelined.
