Everton vs Crystal Palace: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
Everton host Crystal Palace on Saturday afternoon in a repeat of the match which confirmed Premier League survival for the Toffees last season.
After three consecutive defeats, the Toffees only sit one point above the dotted line at this early stage of the new campaign. Palace, by contrast, have recovered from a sluggish start - and a fearsome fixture list - to take seven points from the last nine available.
Here's everything you need to know about the meeting between two clubs enjoying contrasting runs of form.

Everton vs Crystal Palace score prediction
Everton are unbeaten against Palace at Goodison Park since September 2014. That same day Lampard came off the bench for Manchester City to score against Chelsea.
Lampard would go on to spend a season at New York City FC with Patrick Vieira as his manager, studying the current Palace manager's approach before moving into the field of coaching himself.
In a meeting between two Premier League Hall of Famers very familiar with one another, Palace might not be able to break their winless streak in Merseyside but could force a share of the spoils.
Prediction: Everton 1-1 Crystal Palace
