Comments and predictions for Everton vs Crystal Palace: A fiery match

Latest Everton vs Crystal Palace team information

Everton will have a near-full squad when they take on Crystal Palace this weekend, with several players returning from injury. Jarrad Branthwaite completed 90 minutes for Everton U21s and is ready to start alongside James Tarkowski, a pair that impressed last season. Nathan Patterson also returns after a lengthy absence, while Vitalii Mykolenko has recovered from illness and Idrissa Gueye returns after being on leave due to a family bereavement.

Everton fans were delighted when Jesper Lindstrom made his Premier League debut last weekend, despite missing a good chance. Lindstrom is expected to keep his place in place of Jack Harrison. Captain Seamus Coleman remains absent, however, with a foot injury, and Youssef Chermiti and Armando Broja are also recovering.

For Crystal Palace, Trevoh Chalobah could get his debut after joining from Chelsea. However, they will be without Cheick Doucoure until after the October international break due to an Achilles injury. Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca remain absent with long-term injuries.

The match between Everton and Crystal Palace promises to be an exciting one, with Everton looking for a win to improve their position in the table. Both teams will need to make the most of their line-ups and the chances they have in this match.

Latest football commentary on Everton vs Crystal Palace

A lack of wins after the first five games of a Premier League season would normally be cause for concern for fans, but that's not quite the case for Everton. It's the first time in the competition's history that six clubs have failed to win after gameweek five, keeping both teams calm.

Everton have had a strange start, performing well but constantly losing their advantage. They led 2-0 against Bournemouth and Aston Villa but lost in the last minute, along with a draw with Leicester. This result leaves Everton near the bottom of the table with just 1 point, having dropped 18 points from the top positions in 2024.

However, the return of young defender Jarrad Branthwaite, who contributed to Everton's good defensive record last season, could be a ray of hope for Everton, who currently have the joint-worst defensive record alongside Wolverhampton, having conceded 14 goals in five games.

Crystal Palace are preparing for their eighth game, but first outside London. They have not won in their last nine away games at Goodison Park, although Oliver Glasner has not been in charge there.

Although Palace have drawn with Chelsea, Leicester and Manchester United, they need a win to kick-start the season. Eberechi Eze was criticised for missing a chance in the 0-0 draw with Man United. Everton have lost just one of their last 19 games against Palace, but poor form from some key players could give the visitors a chance. Palace need to take advantage if they are to get points at Goodison.
