The 2025/26 campaign has been a somewhat mixed bag for Everton so far – and two wins, two draws and two losses in six league matches point towards a well-drilled side who have started the season solidly enough, without yet scaling any new heights.
As one would expect from any David Moyes side – given that the Scot has overseen over 700 matches in the Premier League, the highest total of any currently-serving manager in the competition – the Toffees have been competitive in every fixture so far.
Their season began with a narrow defeat at Leeds United, but they bounced back to crown the opening of the new 52,769-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium with a 2-0 win over Brighton, Grealish shining with a pair of assists on his full debut.
A thrilling league win away at Wolves followed, before a three-game winless run against Aston Villa, Merseyside rivals Liverpool and Wolves away again in the Cup stymied some of the early-season optimism.
Nevertheless, with a talented squad, experienced Manager and the platform of an exciting new arena to build upon, Everton possess all the building blocks for a strong campaign ahead.
### Stat Attack
Palace's recent record away to Everton is poor, winless in our last 10 matches in this fixture (four draws and six defeats) – albeit all of those coming, of course, at Goodison Park.
Indeed, the Toffees have remarkably tasted defeat in just one of our last 21 Premier League meetings (our 3-1 win back in December 2021); in that spell, they have won 11 times.
But this is a Palace team capable of rewriting any record book: having now set a new club record of [19 games unbeaten in all competitions](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/club/in-focus-the-numbers-history-behind-palaces-record-breaking-unbeaten-run/), Oliver Glasner's Eagles could break another record in terms of consecutive top-flight matches without defeat.
Should we draw or win, our total of 13 games would surpass our previous 12-match run between May and October 1990.
