EVERTON have another chance to save their Premier League skins tonight and there should be plenty of thrills when Crystal Palace come calling.
The Toffees blew their chance to take the heat off at the weekend when they crashed 3-2 at home to Brentford.
But Frank Lampard must have run over a black cat on his way to Goodison as luck deserted him, with Everton picking up two red cards and scoring an own goal.
Palace will present almost an identical threat to the Bees as they’re an exciting side who can relax with a mid-table finish already in the bag.
The Eagles look overpriced at 3/1 with McBookie but it might be safer to bet on goals, with over 2.5 strikes 21/20 at the same firm and BTTS 17/20.
If Lampard’s side slip up again, Burnley can jump above both them and Leeds with a win away to Aston Villa.
But Steven Gerrard’s men won 3-1 at Turf Moor just a week ago and I like the 11/10 on offer at Unibet for Villa to have over 3.5 shots on target back at home.
Burnley will be fired up and that makes them worth a punt at -1 in the card handicap, which pays 15/8 at Bet365.
Chelsea can nail down third with a home win over Leicester but it won’t be easy after the pain of losing the FA Cup on penalties.
I fancy BTTS in this one and it pays a best 19/20 with SBK.

McBookie bet builder
- Combining BTTS with over 6.5 corners and under 4.5 cards at Chelsea pays 172/100
