Crystal Palace vs Everton prediction 10.05.2026 | English Premier League

Crystal Palace come into this fixture after a difficult run of league results. They have lost consecutive Premier League matches against Liverpool and Bournemouth, conceding three goals in both fixtures. However, it has become increasingly evident that Palace’s focus has shifted towards winning the UEFA Conference League since reaching the semi-final stage. 

At Selhurst Park, Palace remain a difficult team to break down. Their home form has generally been stronger than their away performances, with defensive organisation continuing to be one of their main strengths. As of now, they are unbeaten in four consecutive home league outings, winning two of them.

In terms of availability, Palace are still managing several fitness concerns following a demanding schedule involving both domestic and European fixtures. Rotation may again become a factor given their congested calendar and Double Matchweek situation.

Everton arrive in slightly stronger league form despite also dealing with inconsistency. Their recent 3-3 draw against Manchester City demonstrated the attacking threat they can pose against stronger opposition, although defensive concentration late in matches has proven costly.

Away from home, Everton have remained relatively competitive and traditionally perform well at Selhurst Park. They have lost only two of their last 16 Premier League away games against Crystal Palace.

Defensively, Everton have struggled to maintain concentration during the closing stages of matches, becoming the first Premier League side to concede a 90th-minute result-altering goal in three consecutive matches. As for the injury news, Idrissa Gana Gueye and Jarrad Branthwaite are the only two absences heading into this fixture.
