⚽ Crystal Palace vs Everton — Match Analysis & Prediction
Premier League GW37 | Selhurst Park | Sunday, 10 May 2026 | 06:00 ET / 11:00 BST
🏆 Verdict: Crystal Palace to Win — Predicted Score: 1–0
Confidence Level: MODERATE (60–65%) — Crystal Palace are the value pick here. Unbeaten at Selhurst Park in their last 8 home games and buoyed by a stunning Europa Conference League semi-final victory over Shakhtar Donetsk just days ago, the Eagles are primed. Everton’s dreadful away record against the Asian Handicap line and their own inconsistencies make Palace the clear home favourite, even if this should be a close and cagey affair.
📊 Head-to-Head Overview
| Metric | Detail |
|---|---|
| Last 10 H2H (all venues) | EFC: 7W · 3D · CPFC: 0W |
| Last 3 encounters | Everton: 3 consecutive wins |
| Most recent H2H | Everton 2–1 Crystal Palace (Oct 2025 @ Hill Dickinson) |
| Last at Selhurst Park | Everton 2–1 Crystal Palace (Feb 2025) |
| H2H at Selhurst Park (last 9) | EFC: 3W · 4D · CPFC: 2W |
⚠️ H2H history heavily favours Everton, with 7 wins in the last 10 meetings and 3 consecutive victories over the Eagles. However, Palace’s Selhurst Park fortress — unbeaten in the last 8 home games — and Everton’s woeful away form provide a compelling counter-argument. The Asian Handicap market reflects this tension: Palace +0.25 at -147.

🤕 Injury Report
Crystal Palace Injuries
| Player | Position | Injury | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟡 Borna Sosa | Defender | Knock | May 10, 2026 (doubtful) |
| 🔴 Cheick Oumar Doucoure | Midfielder | Knee | Unknown |
| 🔴 Edward Nketiah | Forward | Hamstring | June 15, 2026 |
Everton Injuries

|---|---|---|---|
| 🟡 Idrissa Gana Gueye | Midfielder | Other | May 17, 2026 (misses this match) |
| 🔴 Jarrad Branthwaite | Defender | Thigh | June 1, 2026 |
🚨 Everton are without Branthwaite and Gueye — losing a key defensive leader and a crucial midfield engine. Palace’s injury list is manageable, with Nketiah and Doucoure the main absentees, while Sosa is touch-and-go. Overall, the injury advantage leans toward Crystal Palace.

| 16 | Nott’m Forest | 35 | 11 | 9 | 15 | 44 | 46 | 42 |
🎯 What’s at stake: Crystal Palace desperately need points to pull away from the relegation battle — they sit in 15th with one game in hand, just 1 point above Nottingham Forest in 16th. Everton, safely mid-table in 10th, have less urgency but want to finish the season strongly. Palace’s Europa Conference League final spot is also a huge morale booster going into this one.

🔍 Why Crystal Palace Can Win This
Despite the awful H2H record, Crystal Palace have a compelling set of reasons to take all three points on Sunday:
- Selhurst Park fortress: 8 consecutive home matches unbeaten is not a fluke — Palace are genuinely hard to beat at home. Their defensive record of just 0.80 goals conceded per home game (last 10) is outstanding.
- Conference League euphoria: Having just booked their place in the Europa Conference League Final with a 5-2 aggregate demolition of Shakhtar Donetsk, the Eagles will be riding an enormous wave of confidence and fan energy on Sunday.
- Everton’s missing men: The absence of Jarrad Branthwaite (key defensive organiser) and Idrissa Gana Gueye (the motor of their midfield for 25 games this season) fundamentally weakens Everton’s ability to control and defend.
- Joergen Strand Larsen & Yeremy Pino have been among Palace’s most dangerous wide threats — Everton’s makeshift defence will struggle to contain them.
- Asian Handicap dominance: Covering +0.25 in 15 of their last 20 home games is elite-level consistency that bettors and analysts simply cannot ignore.
🔍 Why Everton Could Upset the Odds
David Moyes’ men should not be written off entirely. Here’s why they could frustrate Palace:
- H2H is undeniable: 7 wins from their last 10 against Palace is a remarkable record — psychological advantage cannot be dismissed entirely, even away from home.
- Beto in form: The Portuguese striker has 5 goals in his last 10 games and leads Everton’s scoring charts alongside Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry (all on 8 for the season).
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s creativity: With 8 goals and 4 assists this season, he is Everton’s primary playmaker and can unlock Palace’s defensive shape on his day.
- Fresh legs: With no European competition to juggle, Everton arrive at Selhurst Park fully rested compared to Oliver Glasner’s men who played a high-intensity European semi-final on Thursday.
- James Garner’s consistency: The Everton midfielder has started all 35 league games and racked up 7 assists — he gives Moyes’ team a reliable engine in the middle of the park.
