Everton have not tasted defeat in their last four Premier League matches and they will be hoping to keep that run going when they welcome Crystal Palace at home this weekend.
The Toffees picked up a hard-fought win against Watford last weekend meaning they are now just eight points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Palace, on the other hand, are winless in their last six league matches having tasted defeats in their previous two.
These dropping of points mean the Eagles are now 14th on the table and if they were to lose against Ancelotti’s men as well then they could very well be fighting a relegation battle in the next couple of weeks.
