Goals Expected As Everton Travel To Palace

Everton are six games without a win in the Premier League and travel to face Crystal Palace tomorrow, the Eagles currently unbeaten under new boss Alan Pardew. The sides currently sit in 12th and 13th place respectively both with 23 points. A win for Palace would see them move above Everton though the victory is most important as it would see the victor put clear water between themselves and the drop zone.

Their home advantage and superior recent form sees the London side installed as the 9/5 favourites with a whole host of bookmakers. Everton are also available at 9/5 with Betvictor, boylesports and Coral whilst a draw can be backed at 23/10 with bet365.

The last time the two teams met was at Goodison Park back in September, the away side getting the better of the Toffees on that occasion in a five goal thriller. Romelu Lukaku put the Blues in front nine minutes into the game before Mile Jedinak converted a 30th minute penalty in the only other goal of the first half.

Palace went ahead less than 10 minutes after the restart through Joel Campbell before Yannick Bolasie made it 3-1 with 20 minutes to go. Leigton Baines` spot-kick conversion was only a consolation goal for the home side as the clash ended 3-2.

Whilst Neil Warnock was in charge of Palace at this juncture, the club have won 3-2 under Pardew in their last two games, against Burnley in the Premier League and Southampton in the FA Cup. It`s a massive 45/1 with Coral should you think that the Selhurst Park outfit will make it a hat-trick of 3-2 victories and mimic their previous result with the Merseysiders. Should you think that five goals will be scored in the match in any configuration, Betbright have the best price of 29/2.

Palace`s top scorer in all competitions Dwight Gayle grabbed a brace in the Burnley win with Jason Puncheon sealing the victory with a goal of his own. Against the Saints, Marouane Chamakh earned himself two goals before there was a first goal for Arsenal loan signing Yaya Sanogo.

Brace scorers Gayle and Chamakh are 11/4 and 7/2 (both Bwin) to add to their tallies at any time tomorrow. They are 20/1 (unibet) and 22/1 (paddy Power) to get themselves a second brace in three games.

A 1-1 draw against Manchester City has meant that Everton have picked up one point in their last six Premier League games but that was at home, the club currently without a point in their last five ties on the road.

From these five matches, Roberto Martinez`s strugglers have scored just three goals and have conceded a mammoth 10, the equivalent of shipping two a game. Crystal Palace are 18/5 with Betvictor to score exactly two goals tomorrow.

Only two scorers have netted the three goals scored in these five Premier League away losses. These two men are Arouna Kone who scored one in the side`s 3-2 loss at Newcastle, and Kevin Mirallas who netted the other against the Magpies and one in their 2-1 defeat away at Spurs. Mirallas is 7/2 with a number of bookmakers to hit the back of the net at any time tomorrow despite picking up a hamstring problem in the goalless draw against West Brom last time out. In other team news, the home side will have new signings Jordan Mutch and Shola Ameobi handy. Midfielder Mutch joined for an undisclosed fee from Queens Park Rangers whilst former Newcastle forward Ameobi was available on a free. They are 16/1 (bet365, paddy Power) and 8/1 (Numerous) to bag the first goal of the match tomorrow.
