Crystal Palace will put their unbeaten streak on the line when they travel to Hill Dickinson Stadium for their Premier League date with Everton on Sunday.
Oliver Glasner’s Palace are the only unbeaten team in the Premier League this season after they claimed an encouraging victory over Liverpool last weekend.
Everton vs Crystal Palace Preview and Team News
David Moyes’ Everton had a disastrous start to the 2025/26 Premier League season, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Leeds United. They, however, did not let early defeat derail them, with them bouncing back with three consecutive wins in all competitions.
Then came the international break, and all the optimism vanished in thin air.
The Toffees are without a win in their last four matches in all competition. They have lost 2-1 to Liverpool, drawn with Aston Villa (0-0) and West Ham United (1-1), and lost 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup.
In their last outing, Everton drew 1-1 with West Ham, with Jarrod Bowen cancelling out Michael Keane’s opener.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have surpassed expectations. Not only are they the only unbeaten team in the English top flight, but they also hold the longest streak in Europe.
Since last season, Palace have avoided defeat in 19 games on the bounce. Barcelona have second-longest unbeaten run with nine.
Crystal Palace’s most noteworthy result came last weekend, as they beat the mighty Liverpool 2-1 at Selhurst Park. Eddie Nketiah scored the winning goal deep into injury time.
Having claimed 12 points from six matches, Crystal Palace have climbed to third place in the Premier League rankings. Courtesy of their record breaking run, UK bookmakers have slashed Crystal Palace’s Premier League title odds.

Team News
David Moyes would dearly miss Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card in six games. Jarrad Brantwaite remains sidelined with his hamstring issue.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, will be without Cheick Doucoure, who is nursing a knee injury. On the back of the midweek 2-0 win at Dynamo Kyiv, Oliver Glasner could make a few changes to his starting XI. It will be interesting to see if Eddie Nketiah gets the opportunity to start against Moyes’ men.
