Goodison Park

Carlo Ancelotti goes head to head with Roy Hodgson, two of the oldest managers in the Premier League with a very rich history between them.

However, the English manager has only beaten the traveled Italian just once and he’ll look to better that stat when they meet at Goodison Park on Saturday in the first of two fixtures available for the day.

Life has improved drastically for the fans since Ancellotti took over the reins from Marco Silva, tasting defeat just once in the league.

Steering the team into the top ten albeit with a slim advantage over the teams behind them.

Over-reliance on Dominic Calvert Lewin needs to be addressed.

Palace will be slightly handicapped as they can’t call on Cenk Tosun who’s on loan from Everton.

Jordan Ayew will start upfront for the Eagles to square up against Yeri Mina and Mason Holgate, a partnership that seems to work for the Italian manager.

Palace were the last team to beat Liverpool at Anfield, better away than when they play at home.

The Toffees will be wary here but Palace don’t score too many goals.
