Saturday, Crystal Palace receives Everton on the occasion of the third day of the Premier League. The two teams will try to line up the 3rd success in a row.
Last year, Crystal Palace finished 14th in the Premier League with 9 points ahead of the relegation zone. Wilfried Zaha’s partners plummeted in the standings because of a completely missed end of the championship. It is important to note that the London formation was already almost assured of its maintenance before the championship resumes after the deconfinement. Victorious in its first 2 matches, Crystal Palace has started its 2020/2021 fiscal year perfectly. Roy Hodgson’s men first took the measure, at the home of Southampton (1-0) before creating a nice surprise by winning in the lair of Manchester United last weekend (1-3). Defeated at Bournemouth, Palace was eliminated as soon as they entered the Carabao Cup (0-0, defeat on penalties).
Since the arrival on the bench of Carlo Ancelotti, Everton displays much better dispositions which allowed him to make a clear recovery in the standings last year. The team finally won 12th place in the Premier League but is not lacking in ambition for this new year. This season, the Toffees started their championship perfectly. They won their first 2 matches played on the lawn of Tottenham (0-1) and against West Bromwich last weekend (5-2), thus confirming real ambitions. In the Carabao Cup, Everton qualified for the round of 16 by dismissing Salford (3-0) and Fleetwood this week (2-5).
The workforce of Crystal Palace is greatly reduced by the defections of important defenders Tomkins, Cahill, and van Aanholt, rookie Ferguson (ex West Bromwich), and attackers usually substitutes Benteke and Wickham. No major departure is to report on the side of Crystal Palace. Last season, the team showed big weaknesses in the attacking field and finished with the 2nd worst attack in the Premier League. To remedy these shortcomings, Palace obtained the loan from the Belgian international Mitchy Batshuayi and acquired the promising attacking midfielder of QPR Eberechi Eze (22 years old, 14 goals, and 8 assists in the Championship) but these two elements started on the bench. last weekend. Author of a double against Manchester United, Wilfried Zaha should again be associated with the former Marseille player Jordan Ayew.
For Everton, potentially titular defender Holgate, longtime absentee Gbamin (ex-Lens) and substitutes Branthwaite and Cenk Tosun fill the ranks of the infirmary. During the first 2 days, Carlo Ancelotti established rookies Allan (ex-Naples), Doucouré (ex-Watford and Rennes), and James Rodriguez (ex-Real Madrid). The latter also found the net last weekend while the striker Calvert-Lewin scored a hat-trick. These two elements should be the line of attack with Brazil’s international Richarlison.
All Premier League fixtures are played behind closed doors until September 30.
Everton can confirm his excellent start to the season by winning on the lawn of Crystal Palace this Saturday. Everton victory!
