Quotes
"We brought the energy, the fans were behind us as well and we did what we had to do," Everton star Iliman Ndiaye said after his side's win over Palace.
“I just think as long as we're turned up in the games, I feel like we can win any game. It doesn't matter the team. It showed today. We turned up second half, and we got the win.
“So yeah, as long as we're ready to fight and we turn up in the games, but we have to do it from the minute one, then I feel like we can win every game.”
Head-to-Head
City claimed a 2-0 win over Everton in their last meeting in the league, which was on 19 April at Goodison Park.
As a result, the Citizens are undefeated in their last 16 matches in the league against the Toffees, having recorded 13 wins and three draws.
