Crystal Palace team news
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner must make a significant change in attack for this fixture. Specifically, an ankle injury rules out winger Ismaïla Sarr. His absence opens the door for Eddie Nketiah to return to the starting lineup. Consequently, Nketiah joins Jean-Philippe Mateta and Yéremy Pino in a fluid front three. Mateta leads the line in lethal form, having scored five goals in his last six Premier League outings.
In midfield, a major doubt surrounds Will Hughes. This situation prompts a likely reshuffle. Therefore, Adam Wharton expects to step in alongside Daichi Kamada to provide creativity and control in the engine room. Defensively, Glasner plans to stick with his trusted back three. Captain Marc Guéhi marshals this unit as the Eagles look to maintain consistency at the back.
