Everton face a stern test this weekend as they welcome Crystal Palace, the only unbeaten side in the Premier League, to Hill Dickinson Stadium, Softfootball can confirm. Looking from both sides antecedents, the table might turn when they meet on Sunday, as Everton, who have recorded six wins in their last 10 meetings, look like an unfit side. Evertons last meeting at home with Palace ended in a 2-1 win for the Toffees a story David Moyes would love to tell this weekend but wishes he could play the game.
After a bright start to the season, David Moyes' men have faltered, failing to win in four consecutive matches across all competitions. A 2-0 Carabao Cup exit to Wolves and a late Jarrod Bowen equaliser against West Ham highlighted recurring issues: poor finishing, defensive lapses, and an over-reliance on individuals. Strikers Beto and new signing Thierno Barry have yet to make their mark, leaving the Toffees toothless in attack.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, arrive in blistering form. Oliver Glasner has transformed them from relegation strugglers a year ago into Europe's hottest team, unbeaten in 19 matches double the run of second-best Barcelona.
