Everton Clash With Crystal Palace in Thrilling Premier League Showdown—Live Score and Match Stats

Everton and Crystal Palace completed one of the summer's more intriguing transfer arrangements, exchanging Dwight McNeil for Brennan Johnson. The two players could face each other almost immediately, as their respective new clubs are scheduled to meet on the opening weekend of the 2026–27 Premier League campaign at Hill Dickinson Stadium this Saturday.

Everton hold the stronger historical record, having claimed victory in 29 of their previous encounters while losing 15. Palace's most recent Premier League win against the Toffees dates back to December 2021, with Everton having taken six of the nine fixtures since then.

Last season's statistics also tilt slightly in Everton's favour. David Moyes' squad finished four points clear of Palace, netting five more goals while conceding only one more. Both sides averaged just over 11 shots per match, hinting that another tightly contested affair may be on the cards.
