News of Everton’s appeal could surface prior to Crystal Palace’s Premier League match.

Everton could receive significant news regarding their appeal against the Premier League prior to their match against Crystal Palace on February 19th, as reported by Joe Thomas.

The Liverpool Echo journalist, sharing via his X account on February 10th, highlighted the anticipation

surrounding the outcome of Everton’s appeal following their recent defeat to Manchester City,

where they were bested by Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland.

Thomas emphasized the importance of the upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace at Goodison Park,

suggesting that the Eagles may also be drawn into the relegation battle.

However, he indicated that the update on the appeal could precede this match.

Everton had contested the harsh ten-point deduction imposed for breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.

The appeal, held earlier in the month, is expected to yield a verdict in mid-February, likely

within the nine days leading up to Palace’s visit to Goodison Park.

A favorable outcome for Everton, such as a reduction in the points deduction, could significantly

impact their season, particularly as they currently trail Luton by just one point in the relegation zone.

The clash with Palace holds equal significance, with the Eagles positioned just five points ahead of Everton, albeit with a game in hand.

A victory coupled with a reduction in the points penalty could propel Everton past their opponents in the standings.
