Everton’s final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ended in a thrilling 2-2 tie when James Tarkowski scored just before the final whistle. David Moyes has turned things around since his return as Toffees manager, and the optimistic Blues must keep the momentum going when they face Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.

Everton staged a comeback victory over the Eagles in the opposite game. Despite conceding early on, Dwight McNeil’s brace secured all three points early in the campaign. Despite the fact that Oliver Glasner’s side had previously lost at home to Brentford, they would have a difficult challenge at Selhurst Park. Palace responded quickly with a 2-0 win at Old Trafford, followed by last weekend’s FA Cup success against League Two lowly Doncaster Rovers. Despite moving up the league ladder after a poor start, their home form remains a source of concern.

Predicted 4-2-3-1. Everton Lineup vs Crystal Palace Defense
Everton are once again struggling for safety, but they are one of the least conceding teams owing to Jordan Pickford’s reliability and sharpness in goal. He produced a great late stop to deny Mohamed Salah before Tarkowski’s spectacular equaliser.

Due to injuries to Seamus Coleman and Nathan Paterson, Moyes was forced to use Jake O’Brien as a makeshift right fullback. The 6’6″ centre-half may not provide much in terms of marauding runs. Nonetheless, his tenacity in the defensive third would assist Tarkowski and Jarrad Branthwaite in steering the ship past the Eagles’ offensive flair. Vitalii Mykolenko should start over Ashley Young on the left, but the soon-to-be 40-year-old versatile veteran might play a role later in the game.

Midfield
The Toffees are without two vital players in the center of the pitch due to injury and suspension. While Orel Mangala suffered a season-ending ACL tear, Abdoulaye Doucouré will miss their trip to South London after being sent off against Liverpool for a post-match confrontation with Curtis Jones. Tim Iroegbunam may play in an advanced role, but the manager would still rely on Idrissa Gueye and James Garner to form a ‘double pivot’ deep in the middle.

Meanwhile, in-form Iliman Ndiaye burst into tears after being pulled off on Wednesday night. With McNeil’s knee injury, Jack Harrison might shine on the left. However, the right-hand flank is dominated by Jesper Lindstrøm, an on-loan Napoli winger known for his exceptional work rate.

Despite injuries to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja, and Youssef Chermiti, Beto has been scoring as the team’s ‘number 9’.
