Everton v Crystal Palace

Everton look like the stronger side in this matchup, especially with home advantage at Hill Dickinson Stadium. They have an excellent recent record against Palace, remaining unbeaten in their last 22 meetings, while Palace also come into the game with a new manager. Everton’s stronger defensive structure and home advantage should give them control, and with players like Iliman Ndiaye and Thierno Barry leading the attack, they have enough quality to create the decisive chances. Everton to win is a strong pick, with a 2–1 or 1–0 home victory looking like realistic outcomes.
