KEY CLASH
| EDDIE NKETIAH v JAMES TARKOWSKI |
| After netting againts QPR in the League Cup and going close against United last weekend, it is only a matter of time before the Arsenal fans scores his first Premier League goal for the Eagles. He will be up against a wily Everton defender who just loves to wind players up as we know only too well having seen his run-ins with Wilfried Zaha in the past. |

TEB PREDICTION
Two sides that have yet to win a league game so far this season face off at Goodison. Palace were lucky to hold on for a point last weekend against United, while Everton were unlucky to be pegged back against Leicester. Plenty to play for and the Eagles really do need to get that first win on the board. It is coming, but will it be at the expense of Everton? We will boldly say yes, that will be case with a narrow but tense victory.
| PREDICTED SCORE: 2-1 to Palace |
