Crystal Palace FC return to Premier League action riding high after reaching their first-ever European final, as they prepare to host an ambitious Everton FC side still pushing for continental qualification themselves.

Crystal Palace continued their remarkable season with a dominant aggregate victory over FC Shakhtar Donetsk to book their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League final. The Eagles are now chasing another historic achievement after already enjoying one of the most successful periods in the club’s modern history.

Oliver Glasner’s side have struggled slightly in the Premier League recently, winning just one of their last five league matches, although returning to Selhurst Park should boost confidence. Palace are unbeaten at home in all competitions since February and have consistently looked dangerous in attack on home soil.

Everton arrive after a dramatic 3-3 draw against Manchester City FC where they surrendered a late two-goal advantage. Despite the disappointment, the Toffees remain firmly in the hunt for a European place and know a victory in London could significantly strengthen their chances.

Sean Dyche’s men have been involved in several entertaining away matches recently, with defensive problems balanced by improved attacking output. That trend could continue in what promises to be an open contest.

Crystal Palace have no significant fresh injury concerns ahead of this fixture. Ismaïla Sarr could return to the starting lineup after impressing in Europe during midweek.
