📰 Team News: Crystal Palace

Cheick Doucouré (Knee surgery) and Chadi Riad (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Crystal Palace gaffer Oliver Glasner.

It seems likely that The Eagles could use a 3-4-2-1 formation featuring Dean Henderson, Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, Marc Guehi, Daniel Munoz, Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma, Tyrick Mitchell, Ismaila Sarr, Eberechi Eze and Edward Nketiah.

ℹ️ Team News: Wolves

Wolves boss Vítor Pereira has multiple availability issues to deal with. Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear), Sam Johnstone (unknown injury), Yerson Mosquera (Cruciate ligament tear) and Enso González (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that Wolves appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 formation, choosing Daniel Bentley, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes, J. Bellegarde, Andre, Rayan Ait Nouri, Pablo Sarabia, Goncalo Guedes and J. Strand Larsen.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Wolverhampton Wanderers have the capability to put one past this Crystal Palace side, however that might not quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 victory for Crystal Palace at the end of the 90 minutes. Let’s see what eventuates.
