Predicted Crystal Palace line-up to face Wolves in Premier League six-pointer

Add as preferred source on Google

Oliver Glasner is getting his Crystal Palace side firing once again after an appalling start to the season.

Back-to-back wins for the Eagles now has confidence blossoming within the ranks at Selhurst Park after a dark few months.

It was just last week that Oliver Glasner found himself the subject of sacking talk among the media with Steve Parish having a reported admiration for Graham Potter.

However, this was all put to bed by Crystal Palace last weekend in a 1-0 win over Spurs with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring.

This was added to on Wednesday when the Eagles beat Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Next up, Crystal Palace will face relegation favourites Wolves in a game that could be a six-pointer for both sides – at least Paul Merson sees it as such.

How Crystal Palace could line-up vs Wolves

Glasner will be hoping for a third continuous win at the Molineux on Saturday evening.

However in order to achieve this, Crystal Palace will have to deal with absences of Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze.

With that in mind here is how we see the Eagles lining up.

Dean Henderson

In goal, for as well as Matt Turner fared on his debut, there can be no doubt that it will be Dean Henderson who starts on Saturday.

Trevoh Chalobah

Loanee Trevoh Chalobah has been impressive since arriving from Chelsea and has already established himself to be a starter.

Maxence Lacroix

In the centre of the back three, Maxence Lacroix has looked an excellent piece of business and he will start again here.

Marc Guehi

On the left side of the trio, captain Marc Guehi should be named to start as he also looks to continue his impressive season.

Daniel Munoz

In the right-sided wing-back slot, we fully expect to see Daniel Munoz continue after his impressive display against Aston Villa – he is also an ever-present.

Will Hughes

Crystal Palace have problems in midfield, and although Cheick Doucoure may return to the match-day squad, it would be silly to risk him getting injured again – so Will Hughes starts.

Daichi Kamada

Alongside Hughes, out of necessity, it will probably be Daichi Kamada considering there are no other options. After his show-stealing goal against Villa, he should be full of confidence but we would rather he start a bit further forward.

Tyrick Mitchell

On the left, as usual, we expect it will be Tyrick Mitchell – this is a position the Eagles need to add depth into in 2025.

Eddie Nketiah

Eddie Nketiah did not start against Spurs, but he is one of the most talented players in the team, so he should play here against Wolves.

Jean-Philippe Mateta

Starting through the middle will be Jean-Philippe Mateta as the big No.14 looks to continue building on his solid form and goal against Spurs.

Ismaila Sarr

On the left, in Eze’s absence and Kamada being required in midfield – we assume it will be either an out-of-position Ismaila Sarr or Asher Agbinone. We’ve gone with Sarr.
