Midfielder Cheick Doucoure, as well as defenders Chadi Riad and Joel Ward, will miss the match due to injuries.
Everton
David Moyes' side played a rescheduled derby with Liverpool on Wednesday and managed to claim a point with a 2-2 draw. Before that, the team defeated Tottenham 3-2, Brighton 1-0, and Leicester 4-0. Interestingly, this season, the Merseysiders have already had three unbeaten runs, each lasting at least four league games. Nevertheless, the club is only in 15th place but has a comfortable 10-point cushion from the relegation zone.
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of Everton's last 10 Premier League matches.

Crystal Palace vs. Everton: Match Prediction
Both opponents are in good form and are gradually climbing up the league table. However, I give a slight preference to the visitors, who have noticeably improved since David Moyes took charge and, most importantly, have started scoring more. In their last four away Premier League matches, the Merseysiders have only lost to an in-form Bournemouth, while defeating Brighton and drawing with both Arsenal and Manchester City.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace, despite decent recent results, have serious problems at home. In their last 12 home Premier League matches, the Londoners have only defeated Tottenham and Southampton, both of whom are struggling. It is also worth noting how the opponents have fared against each other in the league – in their last 20 meetings, the Londoners have only won once (10 wins and 9 draws for Everton).
My prediction: Everton win or draw
