Crystal Palace – Everton

Crystal Palace, sitting 16th with just three points from one win and three defeats and a 6‑11 goal deficit, will host Everton, who sit comfortably in eighth place on six points after one victory and three draws, boasting a modest +2 goal difference. The clash pits a struggling home side desperate for their first win of the campaign against an unbeaten Everton side that has yet to taste defeat. Historically, the two clubs have exchanged blows, but the current form heavily favours the visitors, who have already shown resilience by avoiding loss in four matches. Palace will need to tighten up at the back and find a way to convert the few chances they create if they hope to close the gap in the table.
