According to Everton vs Crystal Palace H2H Stats, Crystal Palace have lost only one of their last five matches against Everton, winning two and drawing two. Everton are undefeated in their last six home matches in the Premier League.

While Everton have seen under 2.5 goals in their last three matches against Crystal Palace in all competitions, Crystal Palace have scored at least two goals in their previous three league fixtures.
