Comments, predictions Everton vs Crystal Palace: Fierce match

Latest Everton vs Crystal Palace team information

Everton will have a near-full squad when they take on Crystal Palace this weekend, with a number of players returning from injury. Jarrad Branthwaite completed 90 minutes for Everton U21s and is ready to start alongside James Tarkowski, a partnership that impressed last season. Nathan Patterson is also back 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, although he missed 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, while 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 a heel injury. Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca remain long-term absentees.

Everton vs Crystal Palace promises to be an exciting game, 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 game.

Latest Everton vs Crystal Palace football review

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

Everton have had a strange start, playing well but then 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 fine defensive record last season, could be a glimmer 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, having failed to win in their last nine away games at Goodison Park, despite Oliver Glasner not having managed there.

Although Palace have drawn with Chelsea, Leicester and Manchester United, they need a win to kick-start their 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 any points at Goodison.
