The half-time whistle sounds at Hill Dickinson Stadium as Everton take a 1-0 lead into the break. Crystal Palace came close to taking the lead inside three minutes, but Mateta sent a close-range attempt over the woodwork. Munoz forced a save from Pickford at the far post before Henderson tipped Ndiaye’s strike over the crossbar. The away side thought they had scored in the 17th minute as Wharton’s exquisite pass found Nketiah inside the box, but the striker saw his curling effort palmed brilliantly onto the upright by Pickford. The Eagles hit the post again through Mateta before Dewsbury-Hall gave his side the lead in the 42nd minute with a left-footed thunderbolt into the top corner. The Opta predictor currently has Everton as favourites to win this game with a 68% chance.
