Everton vs Crystal Palace – Predicted lineup and team news

Everton welcome Crystal Palace to their new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday, aiming to continue their formidable home form.

David Moyes’ side remain unbeaten at their new ground in the Premier League, having conceded just one goal in their three home fixtures so far.

The Toffees also boast a dominant historical record in this fixture, having lost just one of their last 21 Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace. Despite a mixed start to the season overall, Everton will be targeting three points in this match as they look to build momentum and climb the table.

David Moyes faces a significant selection headache in midfield. He will be without the influential Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is serving a suspension. The absence of their key midfielder is a major blow, and the manager’s options are further limited by the continued unavailability of defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

The solution will likely see a tactical shift, with star player Jack Grealish moving from the wing into a more central attacking midfield role. Grealish has been in talismanic form for Everton this season, and the team will rely heavily on his creativity. His league-leading statistics for chances created (17) and fouls won (22) underscore his importance as the side’s primary attacking outlet.
