The Eagles enter the match following a dominant 3–0 European win over Fiorentina on Thursday. Manager Oliver Glasner has seen his side keep five consecutive clean sheets at Selhurst Park.

However, Palace have won only one of their nine league games immediately following European action. They currently occupy 14th place and sit nine points clear of the relegation zone. Crystal Palace team news Oliver Glasner manages a squad dealing with significant attacking absences ahead of this afternoon’s fixture.

Notably, Eddie Nketiah is out for the remainder of the season following a recent scan. The medical staff must also assess Evann Guessand and Jean-Philippe Mateta after both sustained knee knocks. Consequently, Jørgen Strand Larsen and Christantus Uche are back in the squad to provide fresh options.

Dean Henderson will start in goal behind a settled back three of Richards, Lacroix, and Canvot. In midfield, Adam Wharton and Will Hughes will look to dictate the tempo. Notably, Ismaïla Sarr and Yéremy Pino provide the width to support Mateta.
