Key Stats

Everton have lost just 2 of their last 10 Premier League home matches.
Crystal Palace are without a win in their last 7 Premier League matches.
5 of the last 6 meetings between these sides have featured under 2.5 goals.

My exact correct score prediction is Everton 1 – 0 Crystal Palace. I anticipate a typical Sean Dyche performance – gritty, organised, and effective. Everton’s resilience at Goodison Park, combined with the palpable pressure on a Crystal Palace side adapting to a new manager, should be the difference. A single goal, likely from a set-piece, is expected to decide this tense contest.
