Crystal Palace face Luton on the weekend in the Premier League and here is the predicted starting lineup that could play in the crucial match.
The two go head-to-head on Saturday.
So, who could Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson select on the weekend? Let’s take a look…
Team News
With all the players on international duty returning back to Palace with no injuries, there should be excitement as the squad is at his strongest than it has been all season.
There are a couple of injuries, with Jesurun Rak-Sakyi still unavailable for selection alongside Dean Henderson. James Tomkins has had an injury but he could be back in contention. He is currently being assessed ahead of the weekend.
Meanwhile, Michael Olise will be fully fit for the match after making his first appearance of the season from the bench against Everton just before the international break.
Predicted Crystal Palace lineup vs Luton
The loss in their last Premier League match against Everton was disappointing, but there were some promising moments. Hopefully the Eagles can turn things around against Luton.
The back line will no doubt stay the same, whilst Cheick Doucoure should finally return to the starting XI after a minor injury saw him start on the bench last time out.
The attacking setup should look at it’s best, with Olise fully fit, he should be back in the starting lineup. It will be great to see the ‘terrific‘ winger back in the starting XI for the first time this season.
On paper, the Eagles should have enough to beat Luton, but it will be very hard to face the newly-promoted team away from home.
- Manager: Roy Hodgson
- Formation: 4-3-3
- GK: Sam Johnstone
- DEFENCE: Joel Ward, Joachim Andersen, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell
- MIDFIELD: Cheick Doucoure, Jefferson Lerma, Eberechi Eze
- ATTACK: Michael Olise, Odsonne Edouard, Jordan Ayew
Realistically, Palace need to pick up three points, with some of their recent results, they are starting to drop down the table.
A win would help them look up instead of down and it would be great to them to win ahead of some tough games over Christmas.
