Everton - Crystal Palace

England Premier League - Goodison Park

It's time for our Premier League predictions ahead of Monday night's clash between Everton and Crystal Palace beneath the Goodison Park lights. The Toffees will be hoping to welcome back top scorer Abdoulaye Doucoure for this game, while Crystal Palace have been left without a manager after Roy Hodgson was taken ill.

Everton vs Crystal Palace predictions: Everton have to improve at home

Everton are without a win since defeating Crystal Palace in their FA Cup 3rd Round reply, while the Eagles have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions.

Pre-game odds and win probability: A clean sheet could prove the key for Everton

• HOME: 3/4 (1.75) – 57.1%
• DRAW: 11/4 (43.75) – 26.7%
• AWAY: 22/5 (5.40) – 18.5%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Everton lost 2-0 at Man City last time out but defended really well against the Champions, limiting them to just a couple of shots on target during the 90 minutes. Crystal Palace were looking to bounce back from a heavy away defeat at Brighton only to lose 3-1 in their own backyard against Chelsea, putting Roy Hodgson's job at risk, in a development that has seen Oliver Glasner earmarked as an imminent replacement.

Our free expert picks: Will Everton secure a narrow win?

Everton are the expected winners of this game with a probability of 57.1%, but Sean Dyche has a poor record at Goodison Park so a win isn't guaranteed. For more football betting tips on the game, check out the Anytime Goalscorer market.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is the favourite to score in this game at 9/4 (3.25) which has a probability of 30.8%, while teammate Beto is priced at 11/4 (3.75) with a probability of 26.7%.

Hot tip – Under 2.5 Goals

• Four of Everton's last six matches in league and cup have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Three of the last four head-to-heads between these two clubs have witnessed fewer than three goals.

Other tips

Everton 1-0 Crystal Palace

• Everton have won four of their last six games against Crystal Palace.
• The Toffee's goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, has the most clean sheets in the Premier League this season.

BTTS – No

• Both teams have scored in just two of the last seven encounters between Everton and Crystal Palace.
• Only two of Everton's last six matches have ended with both teams scoring.

Player to watch – Abdoulaye Doucoure

Doucoure proved a big miss for Everton last season and his recent injury has shown just how much Sean Dyche relies on the midfielder as Everton have struggled for goals and wins.

Everton have missed their top goalscorer

Doucoure top scores in the league this season for the Toffees with six goals, three more than striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has managed. If Doucoure returns on Monday night as expected, Everton should have what it takes to secure a big three points against one of their relegation rivals.
