Predicted XIs, Tactical Analysis & Finch Farm Insights
Everton came so close to an impressive win over Manchester City on Bank Holiday Monday. After going a goal down in the first half, Thierno Barry’s brace and Jake O’Brien’s goal put the Toffees in a commanding 3-1 lead. However, after Erling Haaland brought it back to 3-2, Jeremy Doku scored his second of the game with a sweet curling strike in the 97th minute. Everton moved up a spot into 10th with the point. However, all three would have seen them leapfrog Chelsea and move within one point of one of the guaranteed European qualification spots. It was an unexpected missed opportunity for David Moyes and his squad, who’ll be aiming to bounce back this weekend with just three Premier League fixtures remaining.
Kick-off: Sunday 10 May, 2:00 PM
Live: Sky Sports
Referee: TBC
Next up: Crystal Palace
With all the teams in the relegation battle picking up wins, out-of-form Crystal Palace are looking behind them with just a handful of games left to play. While they have a game in hand on their rivals, that’s against title-chasing Man City, and a few more wins for teams like Tottenham and West Ham could really put the Eagles in the mire. It means that the FA Cup holders do have something to play for domestically as they also compete to win the Europa Conference League title. Everton have, too – a spot at qualifying for that competition next term.
