This draw also ensured they remain unbeaten in their last 4 matches across competitions.
Palace is just outside the top half of the table and hope to finish off this season in the top half, which will be a huge positive for Vieira in his first stint.
In their previous FA Cup tie, Palace beat Stoke City 2-1 at home to seal their place in the Quarter-finals.
Kouyate and Riedewald scored for the Eagles while Tymon found the net for the Potters.
Palace aim to keep their dream alive of winning the FA Cup, which they have never done.
On the other hand, Everton returned to winning ways in the EPL with a late strike from Iwobi to ensure a 1-0 win over Newcastle in mid-week.

This keeps them out of the relegation zone but not entirely as they need more of the same in the remainder of the season.
Everton beat Boreham Wood 2-0 in the Round of 16 earlier this month to seal their place in the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup. Rondon scored a brace for the Toffees.
Both sides met earlier in the EPL 2021-22 in December, where Crystal Palace won 3-1 at home.

Crystal Palace possible 11:
Butland, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Mitchell, Gallagher, Kouyate, Schlupp, Olise, Mateta and Zaha
Everton possible 11:
Begovic, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Mykolenko, Doucoure, Gomes, Townsend, Gordon, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin
Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-0 Everton
We fancy Palace to win this one and seal their place in the semi-finals of the competition.
Everton would be confident after the win over Newcastle but could suffer due to fatigue and squad rotation. Palace is at home and will use home advantage to the fullest.
Players to watch out for: Zaha, Gallagher, Calvert-Lewin and Townsend.
