Everton vs Crystal Palace

Blues need to get back on track with four winnable games before the World Cup.

The winner, courtesy of Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s diving header five minutes from the end, led to utter pandemonium at Goodison Park with two separate pitch invasions from delirious fans. The Eagles have had a mixed bag of results to start the season, and sit just three points ahead of the Blues. [Everton](https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com) take on Crystal Palace with just four games left to go before the early winter break for the World Cup. The last time the Blues played Palace was a very momentous occasion, with the home side rallying from a two-goal deficit at the break to roar back with three goals in the second stanza to snatch three points and secure Premier League survival. The Blues have mustered two shots on goal in that trio of games, and their utter inability to mount concerted pressure on the opponent’s goal will have given Frank Lampard plenty to ponder before this next sequence of games - Palace, Fulham, [Leicester City](https://fosseposse.sbnation.com) and then AFC Bournemouth twice in five days, first in the League Cup and then the league.

I expect Chelsea to have plenty of the ball but they have to be patient and alert defensively to stop United’s quality on the break. This is going to be a tight, tense clash and there will be contrasting styles of play on show. They are always good value for a shock and will take the game to City with their possession-based style and bravery on the ball. Given his incredible form, and run of five-straight shutouts, Kepa will start in goal again and Edouard Mendy will have to wait to start after his recent comeback from injury. In midfield Scott McTominay could come in to give Fred a rest, while the front four has a great balance about it so expect that to stay the same. Phil Foden is also in superb form in attack and Kevin de Bruyne continues to pull all the strings and Rodri is a machine in midfield. City have won nine of their 10 meetings against Brighton and they have won each of their last eight home league meetings against the Seagulls by an aggregate score of 21-2. Forest had Kouyate and Yates sat in front of their defense and they snapped into challenges, won the ball back so many times and set the tone for a huge win. They haven’t scored in their last three games under the Italian coach and although they are dominating possession and creating chances, that finishing touch is just missing once again. This victory will give Forest huge belief and now they have become tough to beat, the onus is now on their attacking talents to deliver when it matters most. Ryan Yates (who could have scored a second late on) in midfield has summed up how tough they have become to beat and it was always going to take time for Cooper to find a winning formula with a whole new squad. Salah struggling in central role: The Egyptian King is missing the right wing as Salah started up top again in Liverpool’s 4-4-2 and it just isn’t working.

[Anthony Gordon](https://www.espn.com.au/football/player/_/id/268782/Anthony-Gordon) made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute when he tapped in the rebound from [Vitaly Mykolenko](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/player/_/id/262594/vitalii-mykolenko)'s saved shot, but the goal was disallowed for offside. "I think we were second best in every department of the game," Palace manager Patrick Vieira told the BBC. The way we recovered wasn't aggressive enough. It was a bad team performance. It's been a long time coming but great to get the result.
