JAKARTA - Everton will face an important match in their struggle to escape the relegation trap. The Toffees will face Crystal Palace in the postponed English Premier League match, Friday, 20 May, early morning WIB.

If they manage to win this match, and Burnley loses to Aston Villa at the same time, Everton will certainly be safe from relegation.

Currently, Richalison and his friends are in 16th position with 36 points. They are two points ahead of Burnley who occupy the final limit of the red zone.

Everton manager, Frank Lampard, asked his team to appear with high fighting spirit given the importance of the match against Crystal Palace.

"Historically, this could be a big night for us, because we know the situation. The players have to show up and play with the same passion and struggle as every Evertonian at the Stadium," said Lampard, in the club's official website.

"We need 11 Evertonians on the pitch and (Evertonians) on the bench," he continued.

Lampard added: "The players have to understand this opportunity and take advantage of it. This is not the fifth game of the season. It's a critical game."

He admitted, there was pressure felt by his team ahead of this match. However, there is a balance in the team because the support from the fans makes their spirits even higher.

"We are playing a game that we like, and that means we are ready for moments of great pressure," he said.

"When you can achieve something, it's a moment. You have to try to get it," continued the Everton manager.
