Why you should back Everton
The Toffees’ offense is led by Richarlison, who is first on the club with nine goals and five assists. The 24-year-old Brazilian forward recorded one of each in Everton’s 3-2 setback against Brentford on Sunday. Richarlison has been on a hot streak of late, registering eight goals and a pair of assists in his last 11 matches across all competitions.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin also scored for Everton in the loss to Brentford, tying him with Anthony Gordon for third on the team with four goals. It ended an 11-game drought for the 25-year-old forward, who recorded a career-high 16 goals in 33 matches last season. Forward Salomon Rondon has netted just one goal in 20 league contests this campaign, but it came in the Toffees’ 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace on Dec. 12.
Why you should back Crystal Palace
Wilfried Zaha is the top scorer for the Eagles as he is tied for ninth in the league with 13 goals. The 29-year-old has scored in half of his last 12 matches, including each of the last two prior to Crystal Palace’s 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday. Zaha recorded a goal and an assist in a 4-0 victory against Everton in the FA Cup quarterfinals back in March.
Conor Gallagher ranks second on the Eagles with eight goals after registering only two with West Bromwich last season. The 22-year-old midfielder had one of his best performances of the campaign against Everton in December as he netted a brace in a 3-1 triumph. Striker Jeffrey Schlupp is one of four players tied for fourth on the team with four goals after producing the only score in Sunday’s draw against Aston Villa.
