Crystal Palace Eyes Record 13th Unbeaten Premier League Game Against Everton

Crystal Palace are on a historic 19-match unbeaten run across all competitions and currently sit third in the Premier League, while Everton have been inconsistent, positioned ninth with a mixed record this season. Despite Palace's strong form, they have struggled historically against Everton in away Premier League matches, having not won at Everton since 2014. Everton's home matches have seen many draws recently, raising questions about their offensive effectiveness, with pundits like Chris Sutton concerned about their lack of firepower. Paul Merson has predicted a tight contest between the sides, anticipating a 1-1 draw, but also suggested that Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta could significantly boost Everton's chances if they acquired him, potentially elevating them to a top-six team due to his scoring ability. The match will test Everton's home resilience against a confident Palace side still competing in European fixtures, highlighting the challenge for David Moyes’ squad to overcome their scoring issues and secure a win.
