EVERTON PREVIEW: STICKY SITUATION FOR THE TOFFEES
Sean Dyche’s Everton have won one of their opening seven games across all competitions so far this season and that came against League Two Doncaster Rovers in the first round of the EFL Cup last month. They did manage to collect their first point of the Premier League season last weekend as they shared a 1-1 draw with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
The Toffees took the lead in that game via Iliman Ndiaye but eventually conceded an equaliser to former Montpellier winger Stephy Mavididi in the second-half. That followed on from successive matches in which they had led by two goals to nil before losing 3-2 to both AFC Bournemouth and then Aston Villa.
CRYSTAL PALACE PREVIEW: EAGLES LOOK LIKE TAKING FLIGHT
Oliver Glasner replaced Roy Hodgson in February and helped Crystal Palace propel themselves away from something of a relegation battle and into the top-half of the table to finish last season’s Premier League. The Eagles are still somehow winless, though, but are now unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions.
That has involved two EFL Cup victories against Championship opposition as well as three successive draws in the Premier League but performances are beginning to improve as was shown by a goalless draw with Manchester United last weekend in which they were denied a late winner via some spectacular saves from Andre Onana.

EVERTON VS CRYSTAL PALACE PREDICTION
Everton will be boosted off the pitch by the confirmation this week that Blue Holdings and the Friedkin Group have agreed a deal to takeover the club but the Toffees remain a bit of a mess on the pitch. Crystal Palace have been growing into the season and have shown themselves to be a genuinely good side in the recent past. Goodison can turn quickly when things go badly and a double chance bet in favour of the south Londoners could be good value.
