Crystal Palace v Everton

Crystal Palace vs Everton Preview

Crystal Palace managed to bounce back from a previously disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Brentford last time out in the Premier League as The Eagles returned to winning ways with an impressive and solid looking 2-0 win away from home at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

Everton picked up a useful point against Liverpool in an entertaining 2-2 draw in the last ever merseyside derby that will be held at Goodison Park which in turn extended The Toffees' unbeaten run in the Premier League to four games overall and has also helped Everton to a 10-point buffer between themselves and the bottom three clubs.

Crystal Palace have been dealt just two defeats within their previous 13 matches overall in the Premier League while also collecting six wins in the process, but it is interesting to note that both of these losses to Arsenal and Brentford were inflicted upon Oliver Glasner's side on home soil at Selhurst Park.

Although Crystal Palace have definitely improved upon a slow and sluggish start to this current Premier League campaign, the fact remains that The Eagles have managed to pick up just two wins at home throughout the whole of this season's top flight campaign, slipping to five defeats in the process.

Everton's promising run of results under manager David Moyes who has returned to Goodison Park for his second stint continued on Wednesday night when The Toffees held their local rivals and the league leaders, Liverpool, to a share of the spoils in a 2-2 draw.

Previous welcome wins against the likes of Tottenham, Brighton and Leicester City may not have lifted Everton further up the Premier League table but nevertheless, the visitors now possess a commanding 10-point cushion above the relegation zone heading into this weekend's top flight action.

The merseyside visitors have been handed just three defeats out of their last 11 matches overall in the English top flight and having picked up four wins and four draws within this period as well, Everton look the more likely to find a way to collect all three points in the nation's capital on Saturday evening.

However, before we get too carried away with Everton's recent exploits, we should remember that The Toffees have managed to register just two wins from their previous 22 outings on the road which also include being dealt 12 defeats along with being involved in eight stalemates as well.

The goals market (or rather a lack of goals) looks to be on the cards for this upcoming clash though as no fewer than eight out of Everton's last 10 away games have resulted in Under 2.5 goals.
