The Toffees won November’s reverse fixture at Selhurst Park by a 3-2 scoreline, with Idrissa Gueye scoring a late winner.
The teams were then paired together in the third round of the FA Cup, playing out a goalless draw in London before Everton won the replay 1-0, courtesy of a stunning Gomes free-kick.
Everton are now targeting their first league double over Palace since the 2004-05 season, while they could manage three wins against a particular opponent within a single season for the first time since 2019-20, when they did so against Watford.
Palace won 3-2 on back-to-back trips to Goodison back in 2014, but they have failed to win on any of their eight subsequent visits to the ground, recording three draws and five defeats in that time.
Everton’s only win in their last 11 games across all competitions came in that aforementioned FA Cup replay against Palace (five draws, five defeats).
The Toffees have at least taken something from their last two home league games, though, holding Aston Villa to a goalless draw in mid-January before Jarrad Branthwaite’s stoppage-time header salvaged a point in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham earlier this month.
Meanwhile, Palace have struggled on the road lately, losing their last three away league games and shipping 11 goals in the process, against Chelsea (2-1), Arsenal (5-0) and Brighton and Hove Albion (4-1).
They last lost more successive top-flight games on the road in the 2019-20 season, which they finished with four straight road defeats.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Harrison, Onana, Garner, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Munoz, Andersen, Richards, Mitchell; Ahamada, Lerma, Wharton; Ayew, Mateta, Franca
Prediction: Everton 1-0 Crystal Palace
Palace require all the motivation they need to give Hodgson the best get-well present they can, but the Eagles' key absentees and propensity for leaky defensive displays in recent matches cannot be ignored. With perpetual goal threat Doucoure also expected to return to the Everton fold, the Toffees should consign their recent offensive woes to the past and boost their survival hopes at the expense of their visitors'.
