Sunday afternoon’s Premier League action comes from Goodison Park where Everton face Crystal Palace.

The Toffees go in to the game on the back of back-to-back wins having followed up a 3-0 home win over struggling Fulham with a victory at Leicester City last time out.

They haven’t won three consecutive league games since January 2017, though if they manage that here they will rise to eight place following yesterday’s results.

Everton could finally hand a debut to defender Yerry Mina, who has recovered from a foot injury that has kept him sidelined for three months with Andre Gomes and Phil Jagielka also available though Idrissa Gueye faces a late fitness test ahead of the game as he struggles with an ankle problem.

Cenk Tosun is 6.0 (5/1) to open the scoring with most firms, with top scorer Gylfi Sigurdsson a 6.75 (23/4) chance with Unibet.

Unibet have the home win at 1.86 (6/7) with the visitors as highly priced as the 5.0 (4/1) on offer from some firms. The draw can be backed at a widely available 3.6 (13/5).

In direct contrast to their opponents, Palace were beaten in both of their two games, form that sees them sitting just two points above the relegation zone.

They will move up just one place so long as they don’t lose here and will hope that is the case with their next four fixtures coming against four of last season’s top six.

Top scorer Wilfried Zaha could miss out after picking up a groin injury on international duty, while Joel Ward and Jonny Williams won’t be involved, and Max Meyer and Alexander Sorloth are doubtful through illness.

Andros Townsend is 14.0 (13/1) to get the first goal of the game with Bet Victor, with Luka Milivojevic a 22.0 (21/1) chance with the same firm.

Everton won last season’s corresponding fixture by three goals to one, three months after the sides had played out a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park.

You can back there being over 3.5 goals this time around at 3.6 (13/5) while Betfred offer 1.91 (10/11) for both teams to score.
