Before our second visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, we’ve ran through some of the key pre-match stats, as the Eagles look to start the new season with three points.
1998
Everton and Palace have met in the first Premier League game of the season twice before, with the Eagles unbeaten to date. We won 2-1 in 1997/98 at Goodison Park, with Attilio Lombardo and Bruce Dyer getting the goals.
We drew 0-0 with the Toffees in the opening game of 2019/20 at Selhurst Park.
2014/15
The year of our most recent win at Goodison Park – a thrilling 3-2 win with goals coming from Jason Puncheon, Scott Dann and Cameron Jerome.
Five
We have kept a clean sheet in their opening game in five of their last eight Premier League seasons, including in a 0-0 draw with Chelsea last time out to kick-off 2025/26.
