Everton v Crystal Palace Predicted Starting Lineups for Premier League Match Amid Grealish Update

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.

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

Beto scores against Manchester United

  • 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.

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

Jean-Philippe Mateta Crystal Palace

  • 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.
