Everton and Crystal Palace will go head-to-head in the Premier League at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon in an exciting match-up.
David Moyes’ side have had a mixed start to the campaign so far, and come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with West Ham United on Monday night. Oliver Glasner’s side, on the other hand, have had an unbeaten start to the season and come into this on the back of a 2-1 win over champions Liverpool last week, before a 2-0 win over Dynamo Kyiv in Poland in midweek.
Both managers have some decisions to make amid injury concerns and selection issues, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up.
Everton Team News
The Toffees will be forced into making changes for this game after playmaker Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against West Ham, meaning he is suspended for this clash.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Merlin Rohl are both still unavailable too, with hope of returning after the international break.

Moyes Drops Team News Update
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Moyes shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
“Both [Branthwaite and Rohl] the same. No change. Neither of them are fit for the game. But both are making progress, and with a bit of luck, we’ll start to get them on the grass.”
Everton Predicted XI
- Everton Predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Alcaraz, Grealish; Beto.
- Everton Predicted Substitutes: King (GK), Travers (GK), Coleman (DEF), Patterson (DEF), Aznou (DEF), Iroegbunam (MID), McNeil (FWD), Dibling (FWD), Barry (FWD).
With Dewsbury-Hall unavailable, Moyes is likely to bring in Argentine Charly Alcaraz to the side ahead of Tyler Dibling while everything else could be unchanged.
That means £125,000-a-week duo Seamus Coleman and Thierno Barry will continue on the bench, while Dibling will also be pushing to make an impression as a substitute.
Crystal Palace Team News
The Eagles are full of momentum coming into this game and are able to welcome back goalkeeper Walter Benitez back following his dislocated finger recently.
Caleb Kporha, Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are all still unavailable, while Eddie Nketiah is pushing for a start after two goals in his last two appearances.

Glasner Drops Team News Update
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Glasner shared an update on his squad ahead of the game.
“He [Hughes] took a knock to his quad, had a dead leg and was limping. There’s a lot for the medical department to do ahead of Everton. I hope he will he available for Everton.”
Crystal Palace Predicted XI
- Crystal Palace Predicted XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino, Mateta.
- Crystal Palace Predicted Substitutes: Benitez (GK), Clyne (DEF), Sosa (DEF), Canvot (DEF), Hughes (MID), Lerma (MID), Devenny (MID), Uche (FWD), Nketiah (FWD),
With a 19-game unbeaten run to protect, Glasner is likely to go with a strong lineup once more despite having played as recently as Thursday.
Jean-Philippe Mateta is likely to keep his place in the side despite Nketiah’s goals, and that should mean the former Arsenal man and midfielder Jefferson Lerma, who earn a combined £200,000-a-week, are likely to be on the bench once again.
