Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of the Premier League clash involving Sam Allardyce's Everton and Roy Hodgson's Crystal Palace. Team news to follow, kick-off 15:00 GMT.

Everton return to winning ways with this comfortable 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace. Goals from Sigurdsson, Niasse and Davies are enough to send the Toffees into ninth, while Palace - who scored a late consolation from Milivojevic's penalty - remain 14th, only three points from safety.

It's a well deserved three points for Everton who controlled most of the contest, finally converting their dominance into goals, with all three coming after the restart.

There will be three minutes added on. Everton have the ball where they want it as Davies keeps a hold of possession in the corner.

Tomkins is fuming with Niasse's challenge, he feels the Everton striker left his studs in. There didn't seem to be much in it, to be fair.

Everton comfortable in possession as they try to wind down the clock.

Sigurdsson delivers a corner delivery to the near post but Benteke is back to fulfil his defensive duties by clearing at the near post.

Five minutes to play... will there be any late drama?

The travelling supporters have a goal to cheer as Milivojevic slots the ball into the top right corner, beyond Pickford who dives the right way but can't get a hand on the powerful shot.

Williams uses his hand to block Benteke's acrobatic shot and Jon Moss spots the foul.

Van Aanholt powers a first-time effort but it's straight down the throat of Pickford and the Everton keeper pushes it wide. He should perhaps catch that.

Morgan Schneiderlin is jeered by his own supporters as he makes his way onto the pitch to replace Gueye... that just isn't nice.

What do you think, Toffees?

Everton have only lost once at home since Allardyce was appointed at the end of November - and that was to champions-elect Man City.

The former England boss now needs to find a way for his side to improve their struggles away from Goodison Park.

It's been a convincing second-half performance from the Toffees and now they have a third goal to celebrate!

Hennessey fails to gather Niasse's tame effort and Sigurdsson cuts it back for Davies who slots the ball into a gaping goal.

Game over.

Sorloth has been dropping to the left wing to receive the ball for much of the second period. He crosses for Ward, whose shot is deflected behind by his own team mate Benteke.

As it stands Everton will jump into ninth, leapfrogging Bournemouth, while Palace will remain 14th and only three points above the drop zone.

Everton are determined to halt the visitors' momentum by playing possession football. The Toffees have just under 20 minutes to hold onto their two-goal lead.

Possession: Everton 54% - Crystal Palace 46%.

Everton have some respite as Fosu-Mensah makes a mess of his clearance and instead concedes a corner. The hosts will be in no rush to take the set-piece...

Kenny clears his line from Cabaye's delivery but Palace almost immediately recover possession.

Walcott earns a booking for a cynical foul on Fosu-Mensah.

Palace win their sixth corner of the game and Everton have every player back to defend the set-piece. Can Hodgson's side find a way back into this contest?
