Crystal Palace are aiming to maintain their recent resurgence as they welcome Everton to Selhurst Park for a Premier League fixture on Saturday. The Toffees are still struggling to find their rhythm and should be no match for a confident Palace side.
It is looking like a masterstroke for Crystal Palace bringing Roy Hodgson back to Selhurst Park. From playing like relegation contenders a few weeks back, they look a completely different team lately and are now nine points clear of the bottom three.
Crystal Palace have won all three Premier League matches since Hodgson returned and claimed a 2-0 victory at Southampton in their previous fixture. They were untroubled for much of the contest with second half goals from Eberechi Eze giving them the win.
There is a certain confidence about Crystal Palace’s play in recent weeks, particularly in the attacking third. They look more ruthless and decisive going forward and showed that quality in their 5-1 victory at Leeds United.
Everton are still deep in relegation trouble and are currently just outside the bottom three, level on points with 18th placed Nottingham Forest. They are winless in their last four matches and desperately need a quick turnaround in fortunes.
The Toffees travel to Selhurst Park off the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Fulham in their previous Premier League fixture. They were second best throughout the contest with Dwight McNeil’s first half effort proving a mere consolation.
Things are even worse for Everton on their travels as they have won just once away from home all season. Sean Dyche’s men are winless in their last 11 Premier League matches on the road, suffering seven defeats in that run.
