Crystal Palace will be hoping to continue their impressive unbeaten run when they travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles followed up their 2-1 win against reigning champions and league leaders Liverpool last weekend with a 2-0 victory against Dynamo Kyiv in Poland in the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) in midweek.
Meanwhile, Everton were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at home on Monday Night Football (MNF) in what was former Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo's first game in charge of the Hammers since taking over from the departed Graham Potter. Nonetheless, we are expecting an entertaining clash between two of the league's top-half sides.
