Crystal Palace v Everton: bet365's 18/1 FA Cup Third Round Acca

Ahead of tonight’s cup meeting between two top-flight sides, we have a midweek three-fold that looks at a tight affair as Everton travel to Selhurst Park in the 143rd edition of the competition


Typically, the FA Cup action signals a break in Premier League fixtures, but the draw has provided a top-flight affair as Crystal Palace host Everton tonight.

bet365 have an 18/1 three-fold accumulator for tonight’s standalone third round game as a busy week of cup games starts, with very little to separate the two sides coming into this off the back of stuttering league form.

Palace will be the more confident side, heading into this priced at 8/5, having beaten Brentford at Selhurst Park in their last game. Two Michael Olise goals either side of Eberechi Eze’s 39th minute strike, helped Palace secure only their second home win of the season after beating Wolves at the beginning of September.

Everton, priced at 7/4 to win at ahead of tonight’s cup game, are currently on a four-game losing streak. Before that, they’d picked up 15 out of 18 points available to them, and there’s no doubt they’ll want to use tonight to try and pick up winning momentum.

Dean Henderson – Over 3.5 Goalkeeper Saves @ 7/4

Sam Johnstone is slowly returning to fitness, and although Roy Hodgson will respect the prestige of the cup, he’ll take no risks on the returning goalkeeper and can stick with the reliable Dean Henderson.

It has been a busy patch for Henderson, having been called to action and make 17 saves across his four league appearances this season. Averaging more than four saves per game, Henderson has faced 23 shots on target at his goal against the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford.

In a game where there are no points to lose, both sides can try and commit men forward in what looks to be another busy night for the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin To Score or Assist @ 13/8

Sean Dyche has been open about monitoring Dominic Calvert-Lewin as he returns to full match fitness. The minutes have continued to rise for Everton’s striker, being involved in six-straight matches and playing a full 90 minutes against Spurs recently.

There’s been no doubt around Calvert-Lewin’s ability to be an attacking threat, and as he looks to finely have an injury-free run of games, the confidence in his body will convert into creating goals and chances.

As Everton’s second highest scorer in the league this year, accompanied with topping his team’s shot statistics with 33 shots, he is growing in belief when in sight of the opposition’s goal.

Primed to continue his comeback in style in a risk-free cup game against a Palace side who are poor at home (losing five games, drawing three, and a goal difference of -3).

Under 3 Goals @ 3/4

Crystal Palace have only scored more than one goal in five games this season, whether at home or away. They also have an unwelcomed statistic that makes them the joint third-lowest goalscorers in the league this season, with even 18th placed Luton Town managing to score more.

Everton are hardly the most potent of scorers too. Yes, the likes of Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure continue to be more and more consistent in their attacking involvements, but they have only scored two more goals than tonight’s opponents.

The aforementioned Dean Henderson has already showcased he is able to stand up to shots at his goal and produce necessary saves. Jordan Pickford is Everton’s wall in the goalmouth and has proven to be even more reliable, sitting alongside Andre Onana and Alisson with the most clean sheets in the league this season (6) to suggest there will be limited goals in a predicted low-scoring affair.
