Our prediction for this Premier League match:
After failing to spoil Newcastle’s party at St. James’ Park, Everton will look to put an end to their three-game losing run when they face Crystal Palace in the Premier League round 13. The Toffees suffered yet another dip in form, and, no doubt, Frank Lampard feels pressure ahead of Saturday’s clash. Summer signing Neal Maupay is pushing for a start, while all Patterson, Mina, Godfrey, and Townsend remain in the recovery room. The Eagles, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Wolverhampton in midweek, with the team climbing to 11th place in the standings.
The capital club aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but given their seven-game winless run at Goodison Park, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Frank Lampard’s troops. In four of their last five encounters at the venue the Toffees emerged triumphant. As for the away side, all Clyne, Richards, Ferguson, and McArthur remain in the recovery room, while Will Hughes is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Abdoulaye Doucouré):
French international midfielder Abdoulaye Doucour is a bundle of raw energy and a player who was voted Watford’s Player of the Season during the 2017/18 campaign. A deep-lying midfielder who takes part in play build-up from behind is a defensive asset who took time to blossom and announce himself at the international stage. He first burst to prominence at Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2012 after a year with the club’s B side and went on to play 75 league matches and score 12 goals.
Watford bought Doucoure in 2016 but sent him on loan to Granada, where he took part in 15 league matches. Determined to prove his worth in the Premier League, the Frenchman of Mali descent wasted no time in grabbing a starting spot under both Marco Silva and Javi Garcia, respectively, upon his return from Spain.
The total of 38 matches played along with 8 goals scored made Doucoure one of the most sought-after assets in the summer of 2018 but the player remained at Vicarage Road despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Highlighted Team (Crystal Palace):
Crystal Palace Football Club is an English football club which was founded in 1905. The original headquarters of Crystal Palace was based in Sydenham. After being forced to move in 1915 the club settled in Selhurst Park which currently holds a capacity of 27 000 seats.
