Everton vs Crystal Palace Predictions
Everton have the platform for a home win
Everton were beaten only rarely by Crystal Palace in recent meetings and are unbeaten in their last 11 matches against the Eagles. Hill Dickinson Stadium also offers David Moyes a chance to improve on the six Premier League home wins recorded last season.
The Toffees have added Brennan Johnson, Merlin Rohl, Hayden Hackney and Christian Norgaard, while Tyrique George has joined permanently. Moyes already had a robust and well-structured side, and Everton took points from Aston Villa, Brighton, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City last term.
Crystal Palace finished 15th and won only 11 of their 38 Premier League games. Their domestic campaign was affected by a successful European run, so that league position did not fully reflect a squad containing Adam Wharton, Daniel Munoz and Ismaila Sarr.
Still, Palace have had a summer of change. Oliver Glasner left for Nottingham Forest, Maxence Lacroix moved to Chelsea and Marc Guehi had already joined Manchester City in January. Anan Khalaili, Oscar Mingueza and Takehiro Tomiyasu have arrived, while Dwight McNeill was exchanged in a deal that took Brennan Johnson to Everton.
Everton’s 11-game unbeaten sequence against Palace and greater summer stability make Everton to Win the way to go at 2.15.

Recent meetings make 2-1 stand out
Three of the last four meetings between Everton and Crystal Palace have finished 2-1 to the Toffees. That is a particularly useful reference for a correct-score call, while Everton’s unbeaten run in this fixture has now reached 11 matches.
Palace scored only 41 Premier League goals last season, despite their stronger results in cup competitions. Their FA Cup and Conference League successes across the last two seasons made it the most successful period in the club’s history, but domestic consistency was harder to find.
Everton, meanwhile, have strengthened a side that finished 13th and already showed it could collect results against several leading Premier League opponents. Their home return of six league wins left room for improvement, and a second season at Hill Dickinson Stadium should bring greater familiarity.
With three 2-1 Everton wins in the last four head-to-heads providing a clear scoreline precedent, I’m backing Everton 2-1 at 10.00.
