Comments and predictions for Crystal Palace vs Everton: Equal score

Everton return to action just three days after their dramatic midweek Merseyside derby, as they travel to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

James Tarkowski scored a spectacular volley in the 98th minute, helping Everton salvage a valuable point against Liverpool, bringing an emotional derby at Goodison Park to a close.

Latest Crystal Palace vs Everton team information

Crystal Palace will be without Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure for the rest of the season due to serious knee injuries. Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah (ankle), Eberechi Eze (foot) and Ismaila Sarr (illness) are all doubtful but could be fit to return.

Adam Wharton made his first start since October in last week's match against Doncaster, playing 60 minutes and showing he is ready to contribute more in the remainder of the Premier League season.

Ben Chilwell also played 45 minutes on his Palace debut, but after a long period of limited playing time at Chelsea, he may need more time to reach his best physical condition.

On Everton's side, they will be without Abdoulaye Doucoure after he was sent off for his provocative celebration in front of Liverpool fans, which led to a major altercation after the final whistle.

Iliman Ndiaye's injury on Wednesday night is a major blow, and while there is no official conclusion yet, initial concerns suggest it may be a serious injury.

The absence of Doucoure and Ndiaye will likely open up starting opportunities for Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Harrison, with Alcaraz potentially making his debut. Both will support Beto, who just scored his third goal in two Premier League games, having opened the scoring in the Merseyside derby.

Latest expected lineup for Crystal Palace vs Everton

Crystal Palace:

Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Eze

Everton:

Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Garner, Alcaraz, Harrison; Beto

Latest Crystal Palace vs Everton football review

Everton and David Moyes may need more than two days to recover from the chaotic moments at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, in one of the most dramatic matches in Europe this season.

James Tarkowski's spectacular 98th-minute goal ignited the Gwladys Street Stadium, sending fans onto the pitch to celebrate. The frenzied celebrations continued after VAR confirmed the goal was valid.

Once emotions have calmed, Everton may realize that this draw has brought them one step closer to their goal of avoiding relegation, as they are now 10 points clear of the relegation zone.

Under Moyes' leadership, Everton delivered an outstanding defensive performance, limiting Liverpool to their lowest xG of the season (0.64) and allowing only 6 shots – the lowest number The Kop have had in a single match this season. This is clear evidence of the team's improvement under Moyes.

Everton have won 10 of a possible 15 points since Moyes' return, and now they face an opponent against whom they have had a good run recently – Crystal Palace.

Although Everton haven't won in their last seven away games in London, their most recent away win was against Palace in November 2023. That was also the last time they achieved a consecutive away win streak.

Moyes has won his only away game since returning to Everton, beating Brighton last month. A win in that match would put The Toffees temporarily ahead of both Manchester United and Tottenham, and level on points with Palace.

Everton are unbeaten in their last eight encounters with Palace, including four matches last season, one of which was in the FA Cup third round. A 2-1 win at Goodison earlier in the season, thanks to a brace from Dwight McNeil, extended Palace's poor run in this fixture – winning only two of their last 23 meetings. However, Everton haven't won both legs against Palace in a single season since the early days of Moyes in 2004-05.

On Crystal Palace's side, Oliver Glasner's team is in good form and full of confidence going into this match.

After winning only 3 of their opening 18 games, Palace have won 4 of their last 6 matches and kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 games across all competitions.

Nevertheless, Palace's chances of competing for a European cup spot remain quite low, even if UEFA grants England an extra place. They are currently 12th, 7 points behind eighth-placed Aston Villa.

Palace continued their strong away form by beating Doncaster 2-0 in the fourth round of the FA Cup, setting up a London derby against Millwall in the next round. However, their home form at Selhurst Park in 2025 has been inconsistent.

This will be Palace's third home game of the new year, and they are yet to win, having drawn with Chelsea and lost to Brentford.
