Crystal Palace vs Everton Match Preview: Injury Updates and Key Players

Crystal Palace host Everton at Selhurst Park, London, with kick-off at 13:00 UTC on 10 May 2026. The fixture is a Premier League Regular Season - 36 clash, with Crystal Palace currently 15th on 43 points and Everton 10th on 48 points.

Crystal Palace Availability

Crystal Palace face multiple concerns. C. Doucoure (Knee Injury) is sidelined. E. Nketiah (Thigh Injury) is sidelined, removing an attacking option. In addition, E. Guessand (Knee Injury) is doubtful, while B. Sosa (Injury) is doubtful in defense. Top scorer J. Mateta, who has 10 league goals, is available and will be central to Palace’s attacking plans.

Everton Availability

Everton are also hit by absences. J. Branthwaite (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined, weakening their defensive core. Creative midfielder J. Grealish (Foot Injury) is sidelined, a major blow given his 2 goals and 6 assists. Midfield anchor I. Gueye (Injury) is sidelined, further reducing experience in the middle. Key creator J. Garner, with 7 assists and 2 goals, is available to shoulder extra responsibility.

Impact Summary

Crystal Palace lose depth rather than headline contributors, with their main goal threat Mateta fit. Everton, however, are deprived of significant attacking output from Grealish, whose chance creation and dribbling heavily influence their forward play, increasing the creative burden on Garner and the remaining attackers.
