Everton head to Selhurst Park this Sunday with their European ambitions hanging in the balance, desperate to snap a four-game winless streak in the Premier League. After a gut-wrenching late equalizer from Manchester City denied them a massive victory last Monday, David Moyes' side find themselves seven points adrift of sixth-placed Bournemouth. A win in South London could lift them into ninth, but holding onto leads has become a troubling pattern—Everton are the first team this season to concede result-altering 90th-minute goals in three consecutive matches.
History, however, offers a glimmer of hope. The Toffees have lost just two of their 16 Premier League visits to Selhurst Park, with Moyes boasting an impressive six wins from eight away matches at this venue. Everton have also made it three straight 2-1 victories over Crystal Palace, and they'll look to capitalize on any fatigue in the home ranks following Palace's midweek European outing.
Moyes faces a selection headache in midfield, with Idrissa Gana Gueye still sidelined after picking up a minor injury. That opens the door for young duo Tim Iroegbunam and Merlin Röhl to retain their places, both earning praise from their manager for their composed display against City. Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite remain unavailable due to long-term foot and hamstring issues, respectively.
One name generating serious buzz is Thierno Barry, who's pushing hard for a starting spot after his explosive impact off the bench against City. The striker scored twice as a substitute—a feat only two other Everton players have achieved in a single season—and could be the sole change to an otherwise settled lineup. Defensively, Moyes will demand more solidity after his side conceded exactly two goals in four straight away matches, knowing a tighter display is crucial to securing three vital points.
Everton predicted XI: Pickford; O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Iroegbunam; Rohl, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
