Everton manager Ronald Koeman has said he expects his side to be better against Crystal Palace on Friday than they were in the 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth last weekend.
The loss was the Toffees' first in the Premier League this season after four wins and a draw from their opening five games.
Victory over Palace at Goodison Park on Friday would move them up from fifth to second in the table.
Koeman emphasised that Everton had made a good start and urged them to put the Bournemouth loss behind them.
He said: "I think the problem in the first half was we tried to do high pressing but not the whole team was involved in that, and then you get space in between the lines.
"That can make it look like your opponents are more aggressive, but the distances were not what we wanted.
"We did everything in the second half. They had one shot on target, scored a fantastic goal, and sometimes you need to accept a defeat. But, of course, we will try to be better in several aspects.
"We need to be at our best on Friday night, and I expect that. You like to see a reaction.
"But we are talking about one defeat from six in the Premier League -- that is not bad."
Everton will be without Leighton Baines for the clash with seventh-placed Palace, who have won their last three league games.
Full-back Baines has been nursing a hamstring injury that Koeman says makes it "too risky" for him to be involved.
But the manager confirmed that striker Romelu Lukaku -- recently troubled by a toe problem -- will start.
