In a clash between two teams yet to taste victory in the Premier League this season , Everton will host Crystal Palace at Goodison Park , both eager to turn their underwhelming starts around. With both sides struggling to hold onto leads and convert chances , this match presents a significant opportunity for either to secure their first three points.
Everton , buoyed by the recent announcement of a takeover by The Friedkin Group , will hope that this change off the pitch can inspire a turnaround on it. Meanwhile , Crystal Palace remain unbeaten in their last three league matches but have yet to secure a win , with their last trip outside of London offering a fresh challenge under manager Oliver Glasner.
Team News
Everton have received a boost with the return of Jarrad Branthwaite , who is expected to start after recovering from injury and playing for the Under-21s. Nathan Patterson is also back , potentially addressing Everton's full-back concerns , while Idrissa Gueye returns after personal leave. Jesper Lindstrom is set to keep his spot in the starting lineup after an encouraging display last week.
Crystal Palace could hand Trevoh Chalobah his debut after his loan arrival from Chelsea , though Cheick Doucoure is sidelined until after the international break. Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca also remain long-term absentees.

Everton - Dominic Calvert-Lewin
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has long been Everton’s focal point in attack , and his ability to lead the line is crucial to their success. His physical presence and aerial ability allow him to dominate defenders , while his poaching instinct means he's always ready to capitalize on chances inside the box. Calvert-Lewin’s hold-up play is also vital in linking up with the midfield and wingers , creating opportunities for the likes of Lindstrom and McNeil to push forward. Having regained fitness , his sharpness in front of goal will be key if Everton are to convert their attacking potential into goals , especially against a sturdy Palace defense.
Dwight McNeil’s creativity and technical skill on the wing make him one of Everton's most influential players. Known for his pinpoint crosses and ability to deliver set-pieces , McNeil is a constant threat , particularly in games where Everton rely on wide play to break down opposition defenses. His dribbling and crossing ability create opportunities for players like Calvert-Lewin , while his work rate ensures he tracks back defensively when required. McNeil’s form will be crucial in providing Everton with the service they need to break their winless run , particularly against Palace’s well-organized backline.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is a powerful forward who combines physicality with good technical ability , making him a difficult player to defend against. His height and strength allow him to win aerial duels and hold off defenders , bringing others into play , while his movement in the box makes him a constant threat on set-pieces and in open play. Mateta’s ability to lead Palace’s attack , particularly in the absence of consistent goal-scorers , will be crucial if the Eagles are to convert their dominance into victories. His finishing ability will be tested against Everton’s shaky defense , and he’ll be looking to exploit any defensive lapses from the Toffees.
Eberechi Eze has quickly become the creative heartbeat of Crystal Palace. His exceptional dribbling ability , vision , and knack for unlocking defenses with his passing make him a key figure in Palace’s attack. Eze is equally adept at creating chances for others as he is at scoring from range , and his ability to glide past defenders in tight spaces makes him a constant threat. However , his finishing has been inconsistent this season , as seen in his missed opportunities against Manchester United. If Eze can sharpen his decision-making in front of goal , he could be the key to unlocking Everton’s defense and guiding Palace to their first league win of the season.
Both teams have struggled to secure victories this season , and their inability to hold onto leads has been a recurring theme. With Everton’s defensive woes and Palace’s struggles in converting chances , a tightly contested draw seems likely.
