Before that, David Moyes' side had won two consecutive league matches. In the standings, Everton is in 9th place.

Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner's side remains the only team yet to suffer a defeat in the current Premier League campaign. A week ago, Crystal Palace defeated table-toppers Liverpool, who had not lost in the league for six consecutive games at the time of the meeting. This marked the club's third win in their last four Premier League matches, extending their unbeaten run in the tournament to 12 games (5 wins, 7 draws). Additionally, it's worth noting that Crystal Palace has surged to third place in the league and is the most reliable team in the championship alongside Arsenal, having conceded only three goals since the season began.
- The Londoners have scored in 9 of their last 11 Premier League matches.
- The team has not conceded more than 1 goal in their last 7 championship games.
- No more than 3 goals have been scored in Crystal Palace's last 7 matches in this tournament.

Match Prediction: Everton vs. Crystal Palace
This encounter features tough and resilient teams from the upper half of the table. Everton has not lost in 8 of their last 10 Premier League matches (5 wins, 3 draws), and it's worth noting that at least 2 goals were scored in 7 of these 10 matches. The same level of scoring was achieved in 11 of Everton's last 12 home league games, in which the club suffered only one defeat.
Crystal Palace remains unbeaten in the current Premier League season, and their overall unbeaten run in this tournament spans 12 matches. However, the Londoners do not always secure victories, especially on the road. The club has collected 3 points in only 3 of their last 9 away league matches (4 draws, 2 losses), with at least 2 goals scored in 8 of these 9 games. Notably, Crystal Palace has not won in their last 7 Premier League encounters with Everton, suffering 5 defeats. Their away winless streak against Everton in the league extends to 10 matches (4 draws, 6 losses).
Finally, the hosts may benefit from a freshness advantage, as Crystal Palace played a Conference League match just this Thursday. Prediction – "1X and total over 1.5"
