Added on 02 January, 2024
In the opening match of the FA Cup round of 64, the draw brought together the Premier League representatives - Crystal Palace and Everton!
A few days ago, Crystal Palace beat Brentford 3:1, breaking a series of failures in duels with Liverpool (1:2), Manchester City (2:2), Brighton (1:1) and Chelsea (1:2). Thus, Glaziers retain fourteenth place in the Premier League, six points clear of the relegation zone.
Everton are only seventeenth, and in the previous three cases they were weaker than Tottenham (1:2), Manchester City (1:3) and Wolverhampton (0:3). However, before that the Toffees managed to break the resistance of Chelsea (2:0) and Burnley (2:0), so they cannot be called an outright weak team.
Both teams are approximately equal, and their defensive potential are even slightly higher than their attacking potential. Given the status of the match, we expect careful football from Crystal Palace and Everton with a minimum of goals scored.
