Everton
David Moyes' side played a postponed derby against Liverpool on Wednesday and managed to take a point from their city rivals (2-2). Before that, the team defeated Tottenham (3-2), Brighton (1-0), and Leicester (4-0). Interestingly, this season, the Merseyside club has already had three unbeaten runs, each consisting of at least four league matches. Nevertheless, the club is only in 15th place, but they have a decent 10-point cushion from the relegation zone.
Defenders Nathan Patterson and Seamus Coleman, midfielders Orel Mangala and Dwight McNeil, forwards Armando Broja, Iliman Ndiaye, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Youssef Chermiti will miss the match due to injuries. Midfielder Abdoulaye Doucouré will miss the match due to suspension.

Match Prediction: Crystal Palace vs. Everton
Both teams are in good form and are gradually climbing up the league table. However, I give a slight edge to the visitors, who have noticeably improved since David Moyes took over and, most importantly, have started scoring more goals. Everton has lost only to an in-form Bournemouth in their last four away Premier League matches, while they have defeated Brighton and drawn with Arsenal and Manchester City.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace, despite decent results in recent matches, has serious problems at home. In their last 12 home Premier League matches, the Londoners have only defeated Tottenham and Southampton, both of whom are in poor form. It's also worth noting their head-to-head record in the league – in the last 20 meetings, the Londoners have secured just one win (10 wins and 9 draws for Everton).
My prediction – Everton to win or draw
