Sitting 14^th on the standings, six points away from the relegation places, the Eagles are really in danger of falling off the pace in the survival battle ensuing at the bottom half of the log. However, an upturn in form will do about enough to bring their faltering campaign right back on track.

Meanwhile, Everton are currently harboring hopes of breaking into the singular Europa League spot. Having garnered 33 points from 25 games, the Toffees are a measly three points adrift fifth-placed Sheffield United.

With a 2020/2021 Europa League berth in view, the home side will be looking to edge out troubled Crystal Palace as they continue in their tracks to finish as high as possible on the league standings.

Everton vs Crystal Palace Team News

Everton pulled off a stunning comeback against Watford on the road last week, taking their unbeaten streak in the Premier League to four games on the trot. The hosts were trailing by two goals, for most part of the first half, in that latter matchup.

However, a brace from Yerry Mina in stoppage time helped the Toffees post a 2-2 scorecard at the break. Theo Walcott then turned savior for the home side by netting the winning goal in the closing stages of that game.

The win has kept Everton in the top ten, just two points behind eighth-placed Wolves. The season could not have panned out any better than Roy Hodgson envisioned at the start of the campaign.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, make the trip to Goodison Park on the back of a dismal two-match losing streak. Their most recent matchup, in particular, saw the visitors admit defeat to Sheffield United via a narrow 1-0 scorecard.

With just one win from their past ten Premier League games, the guests are deservedly sitting fourteenth on the ladder, three points adrift of the Toffees.

First and foremost, Everton have been faring a lot better at home, than on the road, this season. The Toffees have picked up the win in three of their previous five games here and have not been at the losing end since their 2-0 defeat to Norwich back in late November.

It is also worth mentioning that Everton are unbeaten in their previous four meetings with this foe at Goodison Park and are currently sporting a two-match winning streak as well.

Piling on even more misery for the traveling faithful, the guests have tasted success just thrice in their outings so far. With home advantage out of the equation, Crystal Palace are sizing up to be the underdogs in this one.

Finally, the hosts have looked organized in their own defensive third, at home, and have conceded more than two goals on just one occasion. Impressively, they have also kept a clean sheet in three of their past four games here.

Injured or Suspended Players

Everton: Gbamin, Andre Gomes and Fabian Delph.

Everton vs Crystal Palace Predictions

Taking these stats into consideration, it goes without saying that the home side are huge favorites for the win here. Roy Hodgson’s men have been on a roll in recent weeks and will fancy stretching their unbeaten streak further with a win here.

Three of the previous four h2h meetings between these two sides on this ground have been low scoring affairs. The reverse fixture of this clash had also featured fewer than 2.5 goals on the charts. As such, expect little in terms of goal-mouth action in this game.

However, the hosts should have enough about themselves to see off this struggling Crystal Palace outfit, albeit, via a narrow win margin.
