Crystal Palace vs Everton – Predicted lineup and team news Crystal Palace host Everton on Sunday afternoon, looking to secure their top-flight safety. The Eagles sit seven points clear of the relegation zone with three matches remaining. A victory at Selhurst Park would mathematically confirm their Premier League status for next season.

That task, however, comes with complications. Glasner must manage a squad fatigued by European commitments after Palace reached the Conference League final on Thursday night. A final domestic push is now required.

Palace have been exceptionally tough to beat at home recently, going unbeaten in eight matches at Selhurst Park. The head-to-head record tells a different story, however. They have won just one of their last 22 league meetings against Everton, with Glasner’s side having lost three straight encounters against today’s visitors.

Offensively, there is also room for concern — Palace rank 19th for shots since January and must sharpen their attacking output to get the job done. Crystal Palace team news Glasner is expected to rotate heavily following Thursday’s win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Adam Wharton, Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Philippe Mateta are all candidates for a rest, with Yeremy Pino and Ismaila Sarr also potentially dropping to the bench.
