Crystal Palace look to carry the momentum of their historic European run into Sunday’s Premier League clash with Everton at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles reached the Conference League final after defeating Shakhtar Donetsk on Thursday and face Rayo Vallecano later this month. Domestically, however, Glasner’s men have struggled. Three league games without a win have dampened the mood somewhat, despite the continental heroics.
Everton arrive in South London equally desperate for a result. David Moyes wants to keep his side’s European dream alive, and with the Toffees sitting just four points off the top six, the stakes are high on both sides.
The head-to-head record heavily favours the visitors. Palace have won just one of their last 22 league meetings against Everton. Moyes’ side have also lost only twice in 16 away matches at Selhurst Park — a remarkable record at this ground.
That said, Palace carry their own momentum into the fixture, remaining unbeaten in eight home games and conceding just twice in that run. Everton must overcome a historic curse of late goals. They have conceded result-altering goals in the 90th minute in three straight games.

Team news
Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner reported no fresh injury concerns after the midweek semi-final win. However, squad rotation is expected due to a punishing schedule. Key players like Adam Wharton and Jean-Philippe Mateta may receive a rest. Eddie Nketiah, Evann Guessand, and Cheick Doucoure remain unavailable for the hosts. Glasner will assess medical data before naming his side on Saturday.
Everton
Idrissa Gana Gueye will miss the trip after failing to recover from a minor knock. Jack Grealish and Jarrad Branthwaite are longer-term absentees with foot and hamstring injuries. Tim Iroegbunam and Merlin Röhl are pushing to keep their places in midfield. Thierno Barry is a strong candidate to start up front. He scored twice as a substitute against Manchester City last Monday.
Form
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace are prioritising their European campaign as the season reaches its climax. They secured a 5–2 aggregate win over Shakhtar Donetsk to reach the Conference League final. Despite this, their Premier League form has dipped significantly. Back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Liverpool have left them in 15th place. Palace rank 19th for shots since Glasner’s departure was announced in January. They have struggled to find the net before half-time in five straight matches.
Everton
Everton approach this game after a dramatic 3–3 draw with Manchester City. They twice let leads slip against the Citizens to extend their winless run. Late goals have become a recurring nightmare for David Moyes this month. The Toffees have conceded exactly two goals in four straight away matches. However, they have gone 29 away games without conceding more than twice. Everton won the reverse fixture 2–1 thanks to a late Jack Grealish winner.
Predicted lineups
Crystal Palace Predicted XI: Henderson; Canvot, Richards, Riad; Munoz, Lerma, Hughes, Cardines; Johnson, Devenny; Strand Larsen
Everton Predicted XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Iroegbunam; Rohl, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
