Crystal Palace News and Form
Although they were comfortable and clear from any relegation threats at the end of the season, it was still something of a disappointing campaign from Palace. Especially at home. They finished in 12th at the end of the season, but their late flourish flattered them a bit. Palace fans will be hoping that it doesn’t gloss over some problems.
Can they push on and get out of the bottom half of the table? Their home record last term as W5 D5 L9. Their major departure has been young full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka who went to Manchester United. They have brought in some experienced defending through Gary Cahill, while Jordan Ayew has been taken on to try and boost their goals. Of the top twelve finishers last season, only Wolves scored fewer goals than Palace managed.
It was just a goal per game that Palace managed at home in the last term. Only a third of their home games managed to get over 2.5 goals. In total, the Eagles got a clean sheet in 37% of home games. Four of their five home wins incidentally, were by a two-goal margin. You still have to wonder where they will be at if they were to lose Wilfried Zaha to injury or transfer.

Everton News and Form
Everton looks as if they are shaping up pretty well. They started to get their act together at the end of last season. Marco Silva’s Toffees produced a four-match winning streak at home to close out the campaign, beating Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. So it was all positive at the end of the season.
It will give them the confidence to push on. Everton only lost two of their last eleven games of last season, those both happened out on the road. Both were upsets as well against Newcastle and Fulham. Everton never really got up and running on their travels, posting a W5 D5 L9 return from their road campaign. They didn’t win an away game against anyone who finished above them. Everton averaged 1.25 goals per away game last season.
They look to have gotten a big bargain in the summer transfer window. They have purchased Moise Kean from Juventus, one of the hottest young striker talents on the continent. If he works out, he could guide the Toffees to some big things. Everton have also added Jean-Philippe Gbamin while locking in Andre Gomes on a permanent deal. If they were to get a big centre half, they would be in great shape. Last season Everton were level at half time in 55% of all games.

Everton to win: The Toffees to bag an away win looks a good option for the opening weekend of the season. They have more about them, certainly in terms of attacking threat and creativity than the hosts do. Away win.
