After recording just one win through their first six top-flight

top-flight and now sit 11th in the EPL table. The Toffees
beat Fulham (3-0) and Leicester City (1-2 away) before the international

out from the EFL Cup, losing on penalties against Southampton. As to
direct encounters, these two teams drew 2-2 at Selhurst Park last season
but the Toffees rolled to a 3-1 win in the reverse fixture at Goodison
Park.
Marco Silva revealed that Andre Gomes (hamstring), Yerry Mina (foot) and James McCarthy could all feature for the first time this season. Idrissa Gueye picked up up a knock on international duty and will be assessed ahead of this clash. Morgan Schneiderlin is the most likely to step in for him. Up front, Richarlison is expected to play as lone striker, with the likes of Bernard, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott supporting the Brazilian. With Seamus Coleman set to miss out, Jonjoe Kenny will continue at right-back. Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma and Lucas Digne will complete the four man backline.

Crystal
Palace team are below Everton in 14th position, but they only have seven
points after two wins, one draw and five defeats. Both of Palace's wins
this term have come away from home but the Eagles have recorded
consecutive league defeats at Bournemouth and Wolves this month. After
eight games Roy Hodgson's men have just five goals to their name,
scoring just two from their last five games. Furthermore, they have not
beaten the Toffees in the last 7 h2h meetings.
Wilfried Zaha remains a doubt as he had not trained since picking up a muscle strain. Connor Wickam stepped up his recovery from long-term injury and provides cover up-front. Jeffrey Schlupp is another option to replace Zaha on the left flank if the Ivorian international is not passed fit. Jordan Ayew and Andros Townsend look sure starters. In midfield, Luka Milivojevic will be flanked by Cheikh Kouyate and James McArthur. Joel Ward picked up a muscular injury in training and will be unavailable for the match. Jonny Williams has also picked up an injury while Max Meyer and Alexander Sørloth are in doubt currently due to illness.
