Crystal Palace kick off their 2019/20 Premier League season by welcoming Everton to Selhurst Park, on the back of an interesting transfer window.
Talisman Wilfried Zaha was once again heavily linked with a move away and even handed in a transfer request this week, but he ended up reluctantly remaining with the Eagles, according to The Sun.
Meanwhile, plenty of new faces arrived in the form of Stephen Henderson, the returning Jordan Ayew, Gary Cahill, James McCarthy and Victor Camarasa, although there were no additions for the right-back and centre-forward positions – much to the anger of Palace fans on Twitter.
So how will they line up against Marco Silva’s side? We take a look below.
Well, the south London outfit lined up in a 4-4-2 system in their final pre-season friendly against Hertha Berlin last weekend, and we expect Roy Hodgson to select the same formation for the visit of the Toffees.

Victor Guaita will start between the sticks, with Patrick van Aanholt and Joel Ward in the full-back positions.
Hodgson used Scott Dann and Martin Kelly at the heart of the backline against Hertha, but we think he might bring leader and new boy Cahill straight into the XI in the absence of the injured Mamadou Sakho and James Tomkins.
Ahead of them, Max Meyer has impressed on the left during pre-season and gets a start, with Andros Townsend on the opposite flank.
Hodgson has plenty of central midfield options to choose from in James McArthur, Luka Milivojevic, Cheikhou Kouyate, McCarthy and Camarasa, but we are tipping the former two to get the nod from the former England boss.
The 72-year-old then has a huge decision as to whether he plays Zaha after what has happened this week, or leaves him on the substitutes’ bench with Christian Benteke and Jordan Ayew up top.
We think Hodgson will roll the dice on the Ivorian given he is their talisman and such an important player – 10 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League last term is testament to that – and is available for selection as per the manager’s press conference on Friday.
