TEAMS PREVIEW

Everton FC Preview

Everton boss David Moyes would have rued his side’s failure to see off West Ham in matchday 6, especially after Michael Keane’s early header gave them the lead. 

A win could have eased the sting of their EFL Cup exit to Wolves, but ineffectiveness  in front of goal—just 0.73 xG from 12 shots—proved costly. With Crystal Palace next, chances will be at a premium, making clinical finishing more vital than ever.

Stats that matter 

1. Michael Keane's header was Everton's 361st headed goal of the season; no side has scored more headed goals in Premier League history than the Toffees.
2. Since the start of 2024-25, no team has drawn more matches than Everton in the league, with seven in their last 10.
3. Everton are unbeaten at home this season ( 2D 1W).

Team News 

Everton will miss Dewsbury-Hall after his fifth yellow card of the season against West Ham, leaving Moyes with a midfield decision to make. Carlos Alcaraz offers energy and creativity, while youngster Tyler Dibbling could bring a fresh spark if handed the chance.

Everton Probable Starting Lineup - Pickford (GK); O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, James Garner (Defenders); Idrissa Gueye, Alcarazl, Iroegbunam (Midfielders) ; Ndiaye, Grealish, Beto (Forwards)

Crystal Palace Preview

It was a night to remember at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace became the first team to topple Liverpool in the league this season, snatching a stoppage-time winner in true Reds fashion. 

With goals from Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah, the Eagles proved their Community Shield triumph was no fluke, handing Arne Slot’s men a second defeat to them this season. No surprise then that Palace sit proudly in third, just three points off the top.

Stats that matter

1. With that win over Liverpool, Palace’s unbeaten run have extended to 18 games across competitions.
2. Crystal Palace are the only unbeaten team that's remaining in the league this season.
3. Timed at 96:59, Eddie Nketiah recorded the latest goal scored by an Eagles’ player in Premier League history. 

Team News  

Crystal Palace head into Sunday’s clash with a clean bill of health. Ismaila Sarr marked his return to the XI against Liverpool, while Yeremy Pino has also deemed fit and is expected to be in contention.

Crystal Palace  Probable Starting Lineup - Henderson (Goalkeeper); Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz (Defenders); Adam Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell (Midfielders); Ismaila Sarr, Yeremy Pino, Mateta (Forwards) 

EVERTON FC vs CRYSTAL PALACE
Winning Prediction

Sunday’s clash at Hill Dickinson Stadium has all the makings of a tense, tactical battle. Palace boast the league’s meanest defence, while Everton remain stubborn at home, never conceding more than once this season. 

History favours the Toffees, who’ve lost just once in their last 21 league meetings with Palace, but the Eagles arrive in flying form with seven straight away wins in 2025. A cagey draw could well be on the cards.

We predict a Draw (0-0)
