The FA Cup third-round gets underway this evening Crystal Palace host Everton at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles will be hoping a cup run can help lift the mood in south London, with Palace sat 14th in the Premier League table after a poor run of form.
Roy Hodgson has insisted he is not under pressure and the situation was improved somewhat last time out, as Palace beat Brentford to end an eight-match winless run, but have since been hit by an injury to Michael Olise.
Everton's momentum has stalled in recent weeks, with three consecutive defeats leaving them just a point outside the relegation zone. The Toffees have though reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup in two of the past three seasons.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Crystal Palace vs Everton is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time tonight, Thursday January 4, 2024.
Selhurst Park in London will host.

Crystal Palace vs Everton prediction
It is ordinarily a fixture in which both sides might rotate, opting to prioritise Premier League matters over the FA Cup.
But with plenty of time until the next League assignments, the two managers will surely go strong as they look to start a cup run.
It could prove to be a tight affair, with the quality of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze potentially proving the difference.
Crystal Palace to win, 2-1.
