Everton vs Crystal Palace Prediction
🔊 Will Crystal Palace face their first defeat of the season? The Eagles will play their final match before the international break at Everton's new stadium, Hill Dickinson, where the Toffees have yet to suffer a loss. Despite a noticeable gap between the teams in the standings, the hosts are seen as favorites. Let's consider whether David Moyes' squad can secure a much-anticipated autumn victory.
Head-to-Head
📊 Everton have been significantly more successful in this area. They have won 6 out of their last 9 matches, whereas Crystal Palace haven't secured a single victory in this stretch. It's also worth noting that the teams have exchanged goals in their last four Premier League encounters.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Everton Team Overview
After a strong August with three straight wins, Everton have noticeably slowed down, struggling to secure victories. However, September wasn't entirely disappointing for the Toffees. They were knocked out of the League Cup by Wolverhampton (0-2), but in the Premier League, they only fell to Liverpool (1-2) at Anfield.
In the last round, though, David Moyes' side did leave something to be desired. They couldn't overcome a struggling West Ham at home (1-1), and crucially, the Blues didn't outplay their opponents in terms of football quality. Jack Grealish remained silent again, still without a goal or assist since matchday 3.

Crystal Palace Team Overview
We have the only Premier League team that remains unbeaten this season. What an incredible job Oliver Glasner is doing! The "Eagles" are on a three-match winning streak, highlighted by their victory over Liverpool (2-1) in the last round, courtesy of Eddie Nketiah's goal in the 97th minute. The forward was assisted by Marc Guehi, who hasn't received a rating below 7.5 this season.
Last Thursday, the "Glaziers" secured a commanding win against Dynamo Kyiv (2-0) in the first round of the Conference League. Nketiah found the net again, but the standout performer was Yeremi Pino, who provided two assists. This could be the boost of confidence the Spaniard needs to finally start racking up points in the Premier League.

Latest news
Everton
📝 Football Insider reports that Everton are looking to bolster their squad in the upcoming transfer window with the addition of Celtic striker Daizen Maeda. However, it's unlikely that the Japanese forward will be eager to leave his current team in the winter.
❌ Everton are dealing with two significant setbacks in their squad. Jarred Branthwaite is still struggling to recover from a hamstring injury, while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is suspended after picking up five yellow cards in six league matches.
Crystal Palace
🎙 "Honestly, I have nothing to say... I'm focused on football and playing for Palace. But to the fans, I want to say a huge thank you for the support. I definitely feel it," said Marc Guehi in a recent interview. Despite the failed transfer to Liverpool, the Eagles' captain remains a consummate professional, giving his all on the pitch.
❌ Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riad are regulars in Crystal Palace's injury list. Will Hughes picked up a minor knock in the match against Dynamo Kyiv, but according to Oliver Glasner, he will be ready to take the field on Sunday.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Michael Salisbury has officiated two Premier League matches this season, issuing six yellow cards. His average over the last ten games is similar, at around 2.5 cautions per match. Considering that only 1 out of the last 4 head-to-head encounters between Everton and Crystal Palace saw more than three yellow cards, it's unlikely the referee will need to raise his standard. Therefore, our pick is under 4.5 yellow cards. The odds might not be the highest, but when there's a chance to hedge your bets, it's wise to take it.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Everton don't score much, but they are quite solid defensively, leading to a trend where under 2.5 goals hit in 8 of their last 9 home games. Given that Crystal Palace have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 10 of their last 11 visits to Merseyside, confidence in a high-scoring affair diminishes even further.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams rank low in the Premier League table for average corners won-3.85 for Everton compared to 3.17 for Crystal Palace. These modest numbers suggest a bet on under 10.5 corners. Notably, this bet has come through in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head matches in Liverpool.
Editorial Prediction
Palace had a European fixture midweek, but Oliver Glasner smartly rotated the squad, giving limited minutes to their attacking stars. Therefore, we believe the visitors will be physically ready for this match. In terms of gameplay quality, they are certainly not inferior to Everton, who looked unimpressive even against a struggling West Ham last weekend.
Based on the above, we suggest taking advantage of the underdog status that bookmakers have assigned to the "Glaziers" and play two results against one - Crystal Palace will not lose. The most likely outcome of the match seems to be a 1-1 draw.
