Colombian international centre-back Yerry Mina has missed Everton's last two games with a calf injury picked up in the 2-1 win at Leicester City and the 27-year-old will play no part against Palace.

Everton's former Leeds midfielder Fabian Delph will also miss out having recently suffered a small muscular injury that kept him out of Sunday's 3-2 loss at home to Brentford.

Godfrey has recovered from a quadriceps problem whilst Van de Beek is back available after a groin issue.

Keane, meanwhile, missed Sunday's loss against the Bees due to illness.
