Everton vs Crystal Palace prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?

Everton host Crystal Palace at Goodison Park tonight and their task is simple - win to secure Premier League safety.

The Toffees have been dragged into a relegation scrap over the course of the season but Frank Lampard’s primary mission since coming in as manager will be complete if they can recapture the form that saw them unbeaten in four home games before a capitulation to Brentford at the weekend and ground the Eagles.

That 3-2 defeat to the Bees may be weighing heavily on their shoulders as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison gave them a 2-1 lead at the break, despite Jarrad Branthwaite’s red card, but Yoanne Wissa and Rico Henry turned the game round in the second half before Salomon Rondon ludicrously got himself sent off late on to ensure the Toffees finished with nine men.

Palace won’t be an easy out, as Patrick Vieira’s side - who are unbeaten in four - have their eyes on a top-half finish and could secure their highest-ever placing in the Premier League era.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the crunch Premier League clash:

Everton have far more on the line than Palace but completely capitulated against Brentford in a way that has to be concerning for Frank Lampard. How they bounce back from that will determine this fixture, so
