After a tough week and two consecutive defeats, Crystal Palace head north to face Everton at Goodison Park on Monday night. Kickoff is at 8 PM UTC, and the atmosphere promises to be tense, with Everton aiming to capitalize on Palace's recent struggles and the Eagles seeking to bounce back and rediscover their form.
Everton, fresh off a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, are no strangers to their own challenges. They currently sit precariously above the relegation zone, and manager Frank Lampard is under pressure to deliver results. Dominic Calvert-Lewin's return from injury could boost their attack, and the home crowd will be their vocal 12th man, desperate for a victory.
Crystal Palace, under new manager Sean Dyche, haven't enjoyed the best start to his tenure. Their 2-0 loss to Manchester City and 3-1 defeat to Chelsea have dampened spirits, but they'll be hoping to use them as a wake-up call. Wilfried Zaha and Eberechi Eze remain threats upfront, and they'll need to be at their best to overcome a hungry Everton side.
Possible Prediction line-ups
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Onana, Garner, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Munoz, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell; Ahamada, Lerma, Wharton; Ayew, Mateta, Franca
