Crystal Palace will be aiming to set a new club record on Sunday when they travel to face Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The visitors are currently on a 12-match unbeaten run in the top flight, and avoiding defeat would make it their longest ever. They face a tough test, however, against an Everton side that is unbeaten at their new stadium and has a dominant historical record in this fixture.
David Moyes will be without the suspended Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for this clash, a major blow to his midfield. The manager is also missing the injured Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Röhl. Jack Grealish is likely to move from the wing into a central role to compensate for the absences.
The visitors are still without the injured trio of Cheick Doucouré, Chadi Riad, and Caleb Kporha, while Will Hughes is a minor doubt. Oliver Glasner is expected to stick with the core of the side that beat Liverpool last weekend, with Adam Wharton fit to start in midfield.
The Toffees have had a mixed start to the season but have turned their new stadium into a fortress, remaining unbeaten and conceding just one goal there in the league. However, their record against teams in the top half of the table is a major concern, having won just four of their last 31 such matches.
The Eagles are in superb form, unbeaten in the league this season and coming off back-to-back wins, including a famous victory over Liverpool. Their defensive record is the second-best in the division, having conceded just three goals. However, they have a dreadful record away at Everton, where they have not won since 2014.
Everton predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Dibling, Grealish, McNeil; Beto.
Crystal Palace predicted XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Yéremy, Sarr; Mateta.
The match will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports.
