Crystal Palace enter this match after a defeat, 2-0, on their trip to Wolverhampton’s home ground, thus adding the second game in a row without a win in this Premier League. The home team usually plays in a 4-3-3 tactical design, using three players up front: Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise and Jordan Ayew, whose mission is to cause panic in the opposing defense. It will not be surprising if Crystal Palace adopts a slightly more defensive posture, as they have a lower quality squad. Out of this game are Nathaniel Clyne, Wilfried Zaha and Nathan Ferguson, all with physical problems.
