Crystal Palace vs Everton FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Crystal Palace will be aiming for revenge when they host Everton at Selhurst Park on Sunday (6:30 PM IST), after suffering a 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture. 

Palace will also be desperate to halt their recent losing run, though they face an Everton side still hurting from letting a two-goal lead slip against Manchester City in midweek. With European qualification still within reach, the Toffees know they cannot afford another setback.

Current Standings: Separated by five points, Everton occupy 10th spot in the table with 48, while Palace sit outside the top 10 in 15th.

Head to Head Record: Everton have enjoyed a dominant run in this match up with 17 wins to six defeats in 33 matches with 10 draws.  

TEAMS PREVIEW

Crystal Palace Preview

Before facing Everton in the league, Crystal Palace must first navigate their UEFA Europa Conference League semifinal against Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday. Holding a 3-1 advantage from the first leg, the Eagles are favourites to reach the final, but their domestic form has suffered in the process. 

They were comfortably beaten 3-0 by AFC Bournemouth after the first semifinal meeting, managing just one shot on target in a flat display.

Palace are now winless in three league games, losing the last two while conceding three goals in each. However, with relegation worries eased and European qualification through the league looking unlikely, Oliver Glasner may choose to prioritise the Conference League dream over the remainder of their Premier League campaign.

Stats that matter 

1. Palace haven't lost by 3+ goals in three consecutive games in the league since 2016.
2. The Eagles have drawn five home Premier League games goalless this season, which is the most by a team since Aston Villa in 2008-09.
3. Only two other sides have scored fewer goals than Crystal Palace (36) in the league this season. 

Team News 

Borna Sosa remains Palace’s main concern after missing the games against Bournemouth and Shakhtar Donetsk. Meanwhile, Evann Guessand has returned to training and is close to full fitness, but his availability for the Everton clash is still uncertain.

Crystal Palace  Probable XI - Henderson (GK); Richards, Lacroix, Canvot, Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Kamada, Pino, Johnson, Strand Larsen.  

Everton FC Preview

Everton experienced both joy and heartbreak in their thrilling 3-3 draw with Manchester City in midweek. After falling behind early, the Toffees turned the game around in stunning fashion through a Thierno Barry brace and a goal from Jake O’Brien to lead 3-1. 

But just when it looked like a famous victory was within reach, Everton once again faltered late on, as seen from their loss against West Ham, conceding soon after their third goal before a stoppage-time equaliser denied them all three points.

While the result extended their unbeaten hopes and ended a two-match losing streak, it also felt like a missed opportunity. Still, the point keeps Everton firmly in the hunt for European qualification, with the gap to the qualification spots now standing at four points.

Stats that matter 

1. Everton have conceded two goals in each of their last four away games in the league.
2. David Moyes has won six of his eight away Premier League matches against Crystal Palace.
3. The Toffees have registered only one win in the last six games in all competitions. 

Team News 

Idrissa Gueye is the only fitness concern for Moyes ahead of the Palace clash, after missing the match against Manchester City. His availability remains uncertain, but Everton otherwise look close to full strength.

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK); O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Garner, Iroegbunam, McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye, Barry. 

CRYSTAL PALACE vs EVERTON FC
Winning Prediction

Everton will see this as a strong opportunity to end their two-match winless run, especially with Crystal Palace balancing European commitments and possible fatigue. Furthermore, the Toffees are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Palace and have won the last three encounters overall. 

Their strong record at Selhurst Park further adds to the belief that, given the current momentum and Palace’s packed schedule, Everton are well placed to come away with all three points.

Meanwhile, the bookmakers are also leaning slightly towards Everton, though the contest is expected to be a close one. According to one popular site, the Toffees are priced at 2.55 for a win, narrowly ahead of Crystal Palace at 2.63, while the odds for a draw stand at 3.3.
