Both teams to score

Both sides were in the lower half last season — Everton 13th (49 pts), Palace 15th (45 pts). Everton's home record was 6W 5D 8L with just 26 goals scored at home; Palace averaged only 1.16 goals per game away. David Moyes is building stability at Everton; Pierre Sage's 3-4-2-1 Palace system generates results on the road but not goals. A low-scoring draw is the most likely outcome.
