Everton vs Crystal Palace Predicted Lineups, Preview, Odds & Prediction
This is a meeting between two of the most pleasant surprises of the season so far. Both teams have had excellent starts to the season and look to be teams on the rise compared to last season. Crystal Palace ended Liverpool’s 100% record last weekend to remain undefeated in all competitions in their last 18 games. They now currently sit 3rd in the league, are the only undefeated team and Glasner and the fans alike will be dreaming of securing European football next season. Their record through 6 games is 3 draws and 3 wins, and will look to remain undefeated against an Everton team that have also had a dream start to their season. Everton have been in relegation dog fights the last few seasons, but do not look like they will get dragged into one this season. Grealish and moving to a brand new state of the art stadium has seemingly breathed new life into this Everton team, and they are playing a more attacking and enjoyable brand of football this season. Through 6 games the Toffees have won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2, but have only lost 1 of their last 5 and that was to Liverpool at Anfield. They are currently 9th, tied on points with 8th placed Chelsea and will be looking to show that they are as serious a candidate as Palace are to finish in the European places by ending Palace’s undefeated streak and climbing the table further. Palace will of course be looking to keep that streak going and to put more distance between themselves and the chasing mid table pack, cementing themselves as one of the best teams in the league this season.

Everton Predicted Lineup:
Everton Team News:
Dewsbury-Hall is suspended for this game against Crystal Palace as he has accumulated 5 yellow cards already this season. He will be available again in GW8. Alcaraz will replace him in the starting lineup.
Branthwaite is nearing his return according to Manager David Moyes, but he has not yet returned to team training. Moyes speaking last week on if Branthwaite will train with the team revealed “Not at the moment. We’re expecting him back shortly but not yet”.
Ndiaye and Grealish will start on the wings and have made Everton a scarier attacking team this season. They are locked in starters every week. I don’t think Grealish will shift centrally with Alcaraz playing wide, Alcaraz will be a straight swap for Dewsbury-Hall.
Beto seems to be winning the battle over Barry to remain Moyes’ preferred starting striker.
Everton Players to Watch:
Branthwaite: Not yet returned to team training.
Dewsbury-Hall: Suspended for 1 match due to yellow card accumulation.
Alcaraz: Will replace Dewsbury-Hall in the starting lineup.
Crystal Palace Predicted Lineup:
Crystal Palace Team News:
Sarr returned from his injury against Liverpool, started and scored the opener in their win over the Champions. He had no setbacks and will start against Everton.
Nketiah also returned from his injury and scored the winning goal off the bench. He won’t start; no one is replacing Mateta in the starting lineup but it is a positive for Palace to have their backup striker back in the fold.
Glasner revealed last Friday that “Yeremy Pino just had to rest on Tuesday. He had a bone bruise – he took a knock, knee on knee, which was very painful – but since Wednesday he’s been training and did the rest of the week. He feels fine, so he’s also available”. Pino made it through the game just fine and is the starting left sided 10.
Same back-5 as always for Palace. They have kept 3 clean sheets through 5 league games this season and Guehi, Munoz and Mitchell have been contributing from an attacking sense this season also.
Kamada seems to be Glasner’s preferred partner for Wharton in midfield.
Crystal Palace Players to Watch:
Sarr: Returned and started against Liverpool. Had no setbacks and will start.
Kamada: Wharton’s partner in midfield.
Nketiah: Returned against Liverpool and scored the winner. Firmly the backup to Mateta.
