Crystal Palace will host Everton in a crucial Premier League match this weekend. Everton is struggling with a four-game winless streak and aims to improve their position for European competition.
Crystal Palace vs Everton: Match Preview and Predicted Lineup
Everton head to Crystal Palace in the Premier League this weekend with time running out to climb back into the European places. A four-game winless run has stalled the pursuit of continental competition, including an unwanted record-breaking run.
Manchester Cityâs 97th-minute equaliser on Monday night meant Everton became the first team in Premier League history to concede a result-altering stoppage-time goal in three consecutive fixtures.
However, that setback has not overly changed things in the race for Europe. Defeats for Brighton, Chelsea, and Fulham mean Everton remain in the mix, three points from Brentford, who occupy seventh as things stand.
The Blues also boast a strong recent record in this fixture. Everton are unbeaten in 10 meetings with Crystal Palace across all competitions, since losing a FA Cup tie in March 2022. Everton have won the last three Premier League encounters and have lost only one of the last 22.
Moyesâs men travel to Selhurst Park to face a Crystal Palace team buoyed by their European exploits. A 2-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk saw Palace progress to the Europa Conference League final on Thursday night, where the Eagles will take on for the trophy in Leipzig later this month.
The match is crucial for Everton as they seek to break a four-game winless streak and climb back into European competition.
Everton is currently on a four-game winless run and has made history by conceding stoppage-time goals in three consecutive matches.

Everton team news
David Moyes sprung a surprise on Monday night with the inclusion of Merlin Röhl. The German made his first Premier League start since January, having played only 5 minutes of football across the clubâs last 12 games. Röhl started in an unfavoured right-wing role and impressed, creating the best moment of the first half with one surge, before teeing up Thierno Barry to score after the break.
Barryâs brace off the bench also poses a headache for Moyes. The Frenchman is pushing for a start over Beto.
In terms of injuries, we await an update on Idrissa Gana Gueye, who was absent on Monday. Elsewhere, the Toffees remain without Jarrad Branthwaite and Jack Grealish. Both have seen their seasons ended, with hamstring and foot issues, respectively.
Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Garner, Ireogbunam; Röhl, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto.
The game will be televised on Sky Sports in the UK. All can follow updates here, on the ToffeeWeb Live Forum.
