Premier League: Crystal Palace vs. Everton Picks — Toffees to Extend Unbeaten Sequence? (Feb 15)

David Moyes has had an immediate impact since returning to Goodison Park.

Everton have moved clear of the relegation places after avoiding defeat in their last four matches. Their latest clash saw the Toffees fight to a dramatic late draw against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby.

Crystal Palace have also moved clear of the relegation places in recent months after winning three of their last four. A second successive win for the Eagles on Saturday could see them end the weekend as high as eleventh in the standings.

Odds

Everton Dominate H2H Record

Crystal Palace have recorded just one win in their last 20 Premier League fixtures against Everton. Over that period, the Toffees have recorded ten wins, and nine matches have ended in draws. However, despite winning 2-1 in the reverse fixture, Everton haven’t completed a league double over the Eagles since 2004-05.

Crystal Palace vs. Everton Key Stats

• Everton have gone seven without a win in matches played in London, scoring just two goals over that period.
• The Toffees are chasing back-to-back away wins for the first time since December 2023.
• Crystal Palace have won four of their last six, and they have kept clean sheets in three of their previous four.

Crystal Palace Team News

Ismaila Sarr is likely to miss out this weekend due to illness. Edward Nketiah and Eberechi Eze have both returned to training this weekend and could feature against the Toffees.

Possible Lineup

D. Henderson (GK); C. Richards, M. Lacroix, M. Guehi, D. Munoz, W. Hughes, J. Lerma, T. Mitchell, E. Eze, D. Kamada, J. Mateta

Everton Team News

Abdoulaye Doucoure will be suspended after being sent off against Liverpool. Seamus Coleman, Dwight McNeil, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all out. Iliman Ndiaye is unlikely to feature.

Possible Lineup

J. Pickford (GK); J. O’Brien, J. Tarkowski, J. Branthwaite, V. Mykolenko, J. Garner, I. Gueye, J. Lindstrom, J. Harrison, C. Alcaraz, Beto

Crystal Palace vs. Everton Prop Picks

Beto has been an important player for Everton since David Moyes returned to the club. The striker has scored four from an xG of 3.21 in the Premier League this season. In the absence of Calvert-Lewin, he could be the main goal threat once again this weekend.

Meanwhile, Everton and Palace rank among the best in terms of discipline. The Eagles have averaged just 2.00 cards per game, while the Toffees have averaged 2.09. Therefore, under 4.5 cards looks like a solid chance.

Crystal Palace vs. Everton Picks

Everton’s poor record in London stretches back to a 3-2 win in this fixture in November 2023. The Toffees look to be the value angle based on the prices available.

However, fatigue could play a role after a grueling clash with Liverpool in midweek. Therefore, a draw could be a winning selection, just as it has been in nine of the last 20 Premier League meetings between the sides.
