Everton XI vs Crystal Palace – Predicted lineup and team news

Everton visit Selhurst Park on Sunday, aiming to keep their European hopes alive.

The Toffees arrive on the back of a four-game winless run in the Premier League. A late Manchester City equaliser denied them a massive victory last Monday, leaving David Moyes’ side seven points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth. Victory in South London could lift them into ninth, though holding onto leads has been a persistent problem. Everton are the first team to concede result-altering 90th-minute goals in three consecutive matches.

Their record at this ground, however, offers genuine encouragement. Everton have lost just two of their 16 Premier League visits to Selhurst Park, with Moyes winning six of his eight away matches at this venue. The Toffees have also won the last three meetings against Palace 2-1 and will look to exploit any fatigue in the home ranks following Thursday’s European fixture.

Moyes heads into the tie without Idrissa Gana Gueye, who is not yet training after picking up a minor injury. Tim Iroegbunam and Merlin Röhl are likely to keep their places in midfield as a result, with Moyes praising both youngsters for their display against Manchester City. Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite remain unavailable with long-term foot and hamstring issues, respectively.

Thierno Barry is pushing hard for a start after his impact from the bench against City. The striker scored twice as a substitute — only two players have managed more substitute goals for Everton in a single season. Barry could be the only change to an otherwise settled side. Defensively, Everton have conceded exactly two goals in four straight away matches, and Moyes will demand a tighter display to secure three vital points.
