As the one-year anniversary of his appointment approaches, Oliver Glasner has Crystal Palace playing some of their best football in recent memory.
The Eagles have found impressive form, winning five of their last six matches across all competitions. That run has provided a much-needed boost, though their struggles at Selhurst Park remain a concern. Only Ipswich and Southampton have won fewer home league matches this season, highlighting an issue that has held them back from a more serious push towards the European places.
A lack of consistency on home soil has left Palace in mid-table, making this fixture a crucial one in their pursuit of a stronger finish. However, history is not on their side when facing Everton. Over the last 20 league meetings, Palace have claimed just one victory, with the rest of the encounters split between nine draws and ten defeats. That record will do little to inspire confidence, but Glasner’s men will be determined to change the narrative.
Everton arrive in south London riding the momentum of a dramatic late equalizer from James Tarkowski in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool. That thrilling 2-2 draw extended their unbeaten Premier League run to four matches, continuing the resurgence they have experienced under David Moyes. Since the Scot’s return to Goodison Park last month, the Toffees have looked revitalized and far more resilient in their performances.
Moyes will be eager to see his side maintain that upward trajectory, with Everton now only three points behind Palace heading into the weekend. However, their record in the capital suggests they will need to overcome a significant hurdle. The Merseyside outfit have failed to win any of their last seven trips to London, recording three draws and four defeats in that stretch. Their last success in the capital, though, came at Selhurst Park in November 2023, a result they will be looking to replicate.
Jean-Philippe Mateta has been a key figure in Palace’s recent success, and he has a personal milestone within reach. The French striker needs just one more goal to equal Christian Benteke’s tally of 35 and become the club’s second-highest Premier League scorer. Having netted six times in five league appearances in 2025, he is in the kind of form that could make the difference in this contest.
On the other side, Beto has been making an impact for Everton. His opener against Liverpool took his league tally to four for the season, surpassing his total from the previous campaign. That goal also marked his first time scoring in back-to-back Premier League matches, and he will be looking to extend that streak against Palace’s backline.
While individual performances will play a crucial role, this matchup also presents an interesting managerial subplot. Glasner could join an exclusive list of coaches who have won their first four encounters against David Moyes. It is a statistic that underlines just how well Palace have performed under the Austrian tactician’s guidance, but Everton’s resilience under Moyes suggests this battle will be far from straightforward.
Both teams have plenty at stake in this fixture. Palace will be aiming to improve their home record and close the gap on the top half, while Everton will look to continue their resurgence and climb further up the table. With both sides carrying strong motivation, an entertaining and tightly contested affair is on the cards.
A fast start could be key, especially given Palace’s defensive vulnerabilities at home. They have conceded an average of 1.27 goals in the first half of their Premier League home games this season, the highest in the division. Everton will likely look to exploit that weakness early on, while Palace will hope their attacking momentum can help them turn the tide at Selhurst Park.
With form, history, and key individual battles all adding intrigue, this promises to be a fascinating clash between two sides looking to assert themselves as the season enters its decisive phase.
