Here is how we predict Everton and Crystal Palace will line up this week:

To be played on Friday 30th September 2016 at 19:00. Venue: Goodison Park, Liverpool

Odds: Everton 7/10, Draw 29/10, C. Palace 18/5

Everton welcome Crystal Palace to Goodison Park on Friday evening for their latest Premier League clash, with the Toffees flying high in the table but looking to recover from a recent setback.

Ronald Koeman’s side lost 1-0 to Bournemouth last time out and while they remain level on points with third-placed Arsenal they will not want to suffer back-to-back defeats at the risk of seeing their early season form dissipate.

As for Palace, they turned things round in brilliant fashion against Sunderland last weekend, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and climb up to seventh in the table as a result.

In early team news, Everton are without James McCarthy, Darron Gibson, Muhamed Besic and Tyias Browning.

As for Palace, they cannot call on Scott Dann, Papa Souare or Loic Remy while winger Wilfried Zaha is rated at 75 per cent to recover from a hamstring injury.

A win for Everton would see them move up to second in the table – at least temporarily – while Palace could jump into the top four with a big enough victory of their own.
