Crystal Palace and Everton played out a 0-0 draw in their Premier League clash on Saturday, with the struggling sides unable to break down each other's defenses despite some chances.

The deadlock was a reflection of the poor attacking displays from both teams. Crystal Palace were unable to create many clear-cut opportunities, while Everton struggled to find the back of the net.

The game started brightly for Palace, who took control of the midfield and created some good attacks. However, they failed to convert any of these into goals, with Everton also struggling to break down the Palace defense.

In contrast, Everton had more possession but could not create enough chances to take the lead. The visitors were particularly unlucky not to score when Richarlison hit the woodwork late on.

Despite the lack of goalmouth action, there were some positives for both teams. Palace goalkeeper Alisson Becker made some impressive saves, while Everton keeper Jordan Pickford also kept his side in the game.

However, it remains to be seen whether either team can find a way to break down the other's defense and pick up all three points. Both teams will be disappointed with their performances, but they will need to improve if they want to have any chance of avoiding relegation this season.
