The Premier League’s only unbeaten side, Crystal Palace, travel to Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday to face an Everton side desperate to regain momentum. The visitors are flying high under Oliver Glasner, while David Moyes’ men are searching for a spark after a difficult few weeks.
Everton’s bright start has faded quickly, with the Toffees now winless in four across all competitions. A limp Carabao Cup defeat to Wolves and a late Jarrod Bowen equaliser last weekend summed up their struggles.
While still unbeaten at home, their attacking issues remain — neither Beto nor Thierno Barry has hit form, and defensive lapses continue to cost them valuable points. Moyes will hope home support can lift his side against the league’s in-form visitors.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are on a stunning 18-game unbeaten streak, the longest in Europe’s top five leagues. Once bottom of the table a year ago, Glasner has transformed them into a confident, disciplined unit.
Their recent win over Liverpool — sealed by Eddie Nketiah’s late strike — showed their grit and composure. Another positive result would see Palace surpass Bert Head’s 1969 unbeaten record and further cement Glasner’s growing legend at Selhurst Park.

Everton vs. Crystal Palace predicted lineups, team news
Everton will be forced to cope without Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card in just six league outings. In his absence, David Moyes could opt to shift Jack Grealish into a more central role, while handing a start to the lively Tyler Dibling, whose energy and directness could offer a fresh spark in midfield.
Meanwhile, Jarrad Branthwaite remains unavailable, with his return to full training still some way off, meaning Moyes will once again rely on his experienced defensive pairing. Other than that, the Toffees are expected to stick with a largely unchanged lineup.
Everton predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko — Gueye, Garner — Ndiaye, Grealish, Dibling— Beto
Injured: Rohl, Branthwaite
Suspended: Dewsbury-Hall
For the visitors, Oliver Glasner could be tempted to reward Eddie Nketiah with a starting spot after his decisive contribution off the bench last weekend.
The forward may come in for Yeremy Pino, who has yet to make a telling impact this season despite some bright displays. With a busy fixture schedule ahead, Glasner will be keen to manage workloads carefully, especially as Cheikh Doucoure remains the only senior absentee through injury.
Crystal Palace predicted starting XI (3-4-2-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Richards, Lacroix, Guehi — Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell — Nketiah, Pino — Mateta
Injured: Doucoure, Riad, Kporha, Benitez
Suspended: None
