• Fixture: Everton vs Crystal Palace

• Date: Sunday, 05 October 2025

• Venue: Hill Dickinson Stadium

Match Prediction: Everton 2-1 Crystal Palace

Everton's recent form suggests they can grind out results, with two wins and two draws in their last five league matches. They've been solid at home, beating Brighton and drawing with West Ham and Aston Villa. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have been impressive, winning three of their last five Premier League games, including a big win against Liverpool. 

This match could be tight, with both teams capable of scoring, but Everton's home advantage might just tip the scales.

Crystal Palace's attacking flair could cause problems for Everton, but the Toffees have shown they can defend well at home. If Everton can keep it tight at the back and their star players are on song, they might nick it. But Palace won't go down without a fight, and their recent form suggests they'll be in the game till the end.

Everton have been in decent form lately, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five Premier League games. They've been particularly strong at home, securing a win against Brighton and drawing with West Ham and Aston Villa. 

This should give them confidence going into this match against Crystal Palace. If they can maintain their solid defensive performances at the Hill Dickinson, they stand a good chance of coming out on top.

• Draw: 1-1 vs West Ham United (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Liverpool (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Aston Villa (H)

• Win: 3-2 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (A)

• Win: 2-0 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

Crystal Palace have been on a roll, winning three of their last five league games, including impressive victories against Liverpool and West Ham. They've shown they can score goals and pick up points away from home, which bodes well for this trip to Everton. 

However, their two draws in the last five suggest they can sometimes struggle to break down stubborn defences. They'll need to be at their best to get a result.

• Win: 2-1 vs Liverpool (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs West Ham United (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Sunderland (H)

• Win: 3-0 vs Aston Villa (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Nottingham Forest (H)

In their recent meetings, Everton have had the upper hand, winning three of the last five encounters with Crystal Palace. The most recent match saw Everton win 2-1 away from home, while their last home game against Palace also ended in a 2-1 victory. 

However, Crystal Palace did manage a draw at Everton in 2024, showing they can compete with the Toffees on their day.

• Caleb Kporha (Back) - Doubt

• Predicted lineup: Pickford, O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Garner, Ndiaye, Alcaraz, Grealish, Beto

Everton's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on their solid defence, with Keane and Tarkowski at the back, while Grealish and Ndiaye will look to create chances from wide positions. Their recent form indicates they can be tough to break down at home, which could be crucial against a potent Crystal Palace attack.

• Predicted lineup: Henderson, Richards, Lacroix, Guehi, Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell, Sarr, Pino, Mateta

Crystal Palace's predicted lineup shows they'll continue with their attacking approach, with Mateta and Sarr leading the charge. Their recent wins suggest they can cause problems for any defence, but they'll need to be wary of Everton's solid home form.

• Garner vs Wharton: This will be a key battle between Everton's creative midfielder and Crystal Palace's highly-rated central midfielder.

• Grealish vs Muñoz: Grealish's flair and skill will be put to the test against Muñoz's defensive prowess. 

• Gueye (Everton): Gueye's energy and work rate in midfield will be vital for Everton's chances of controlling the game.

• Richards (Crystal Palace): Richards' ability to break up play and start attacks from the back will be crucial for Crystal Palace.
