Here is the Everton predicted XI vs. Crystal Palace.
The Toffees’ tremendous start to the season continued in midweek with another 5-2 victory, this time against Fleetwood Town in the third round of the Carabao Cup, and the Blues head into their fifth of the campaign with their 100% record still in tact.
The game this weekend sees Ancelotti’s side travel to Crystal Palace in a match that could give Everton their biggest challenge of the season so far. Roy Hodgson’s men have hit the ground running this season and have two wins from two games in the Premier League, including an impressive 3-1 victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend.
However, Crystal Palace boss Hodgson does have issues in his defensive line with Scott Dann, Gary Cahill, James Tomkins and Patrick Van Aanholt all expected to miss this weekend’s game through injury.
As for Everton, they have no fresh injury concerns to deal with as they prepare for Saturday’s game and they will be confident of maintaining their perfect start to the season with another win at Selhurst Park this weekend.
Here’s how we think the Toffees will line-up against Crystal Palace.
Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford
After a nightmare performance against Fleetwood Town in midweek, there has been fresh speculation surrounding Jordan Pickford’s future at the club, with Manchester United’s Sergio Romero linked as a possible signing for the Blues before the window closes to give the England number one some competition.
However, Carlo Ancelotti has shown his support for Pickford and claimed that he is not looking to add another goalkeeper in the current window, so we should expect to see him keep his place between the sticks for the Toffees on Saturday.
