Crystal Palace vs Everton prediction and odds: Demarai Gray backed to ease pressure on Rafa Benitez

Everton will be looking to gather a winning momentum when they face a Crystal Palace side who have lost their last three Premier League matches.

The Toffees are 5/2 with Grosvenor Sport while Palace are the slight-favourites at 5/4 and a draw is 43/20.

The Blues were nosediving down the Premier League table but that ended when Demarai Gray's late winner gave Rafa Benitez's side a dramatic 2-1 win over Arsenal at Goodison Park.

That win eased off some pressure on Benitez at the moment but it was their first win in nine league games - there is still a long way to go.

For Palace, they will be looking to return to winning ways at home after losing to Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa at Selhurst Park.

Before that, Patrick Vieira's side were unbeaten in their opening six home games of the season and are the bookies favourite to win this tie.

Player to watch

I am backing Demarai Gray to shine again after his heroics against Arsenal.

His last minute-winner is worthy of an award in itself and is fast becoming my favourite new signing of the season.

The former Leicester City winger has picked up five goals two assists in 15 Premier League matches.

H2H

This will be the 53rd meeting between the two sides with Everton picking up 22 wins, 19 draws and 11 defeats.
