Everton host Crystal Palace in their final Premier League clash before the international break on October 5.
David Moyes' side remain unbeaten in their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home after a 1-1 draw with West Ham United last time out.
However, the Toffees are without a win in their last three league outings, and Palace are in superb form.
Alongside booking their spot in the Carabao Cup Round of 16 later this month, Oliver Glasner's team have also won back-to-back league games, including a late 2-1 victory over leaders Liverpool last weekend.
On the European front, Palace land on Merseyside after a long trip back from facing Dynamo Kyiv in neutral Poland, with Glasner's charges having won 2-0 to start their UEFA Conference League campaign.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace lineups: Predicted starting XI, team news, injury latest
Moyes has stuck with a largely unchanged team in Premier League action so far this season with key defender Jarrad Branthwaite still out injured.
However, midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is out due to a one-game ban after picking up his fifth league booking of the season against West Ham, and Merlin Rohl has yet to recover from a groin problem.
That could see Jack Grealish is moved into a No.10 role with Dwight McNeil starting on the left of Moyes' attack.
Everton predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko — Gueye, Garner — Ndiaye, Grealish, McNeil — Beto
Injured: Branthwaite (thigh), Rohl (groin)
Suspended: Dewsbury-Hall
On the back of midweek European duty, Glasner will look to rotate, although Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad and Caleb Kporha are all still out injured.
The visitors could be unchanged from that win over Liverpool with Adam Wharton shaking off a minor knock.
Crystal Palace predicted starting XI (3-4-3, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Richards, Lacroix, Guehi — Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell — Sarr, Mateta, Pino
Injured: Doucoure (knee), Riad (knee), Kporha (back)
Suspended: None
