Crystal Palace are in the US, fresh off a 6-3 thriller with Crawley Town. Here’s how we see Oliver Glasner lining up his team.
Wolves await Crystal Palace in the early hours of Thursday morning as the US tour gets started for the Eagles.
It comes following last Saturday’s crazy nine-goal outing against Crawley in which the Eagles walked out 6-3 winners.
The game is the first of two in the United States, with game two being against West Ham in the early hours of Sunday morning.
To watch the game, Palace fans can subscribe to Palace TV+ however it will mean disrupting a normal sleep schedule for many British fans.
Here’s the line-up we’re expecting to see from Oliver Glasner.
How Crystal Palace could lineup vs Wolves
After a few pre-season fixtures against lower league sides, now the Eagles are set to face Premier League opposition.
The previous meeting against Wolves saw Palace win 3-1 during that excellent run of form at the back end of last season.
Here’s how we see the Eagles lining up to take on Gary O’Neill’s Wolves side.
Sam Johnstone
With Dean Henderson back, it’s unclear whether he will go straight back into the XI, but we think at least for this game it’ll be Sam Johnstone but he must improve after conceding three vs Crawley.
Nathaniel Clyne
Daniel Munoz is still on holiday, and therefore we think it’ll be Nathaniel Clyne again who starts although ideally, it’d be Franco Umeh after the quality he showed.
Chris Richards
Moving into the centre of defence, Chris Richards and his two other partners are absolute shoo-ins after a strong first half they put in last weekend.
Joachim Andersen
Joachim Andersen was very strong against Crawley and it’s important that he and the two other centre-backs get as many minutes together as possible.
Chadi Riad
Chadi Riad already looks an immense signing and we expect him to enjoy the challenge of increased opposition levels.
Tyrick Mitchell
At left wing-back, Tyrick Mitchell played the full 90 against Crawley, and we expect a similar outcome in this game.
Will Hughes
Moving into midfield, Will Hughes was impressive against Crawley and with absences and injuries, we expect he’ll start again.
Adam Wharton
With Cheick Doucoure having a concerning issue against Crawley, we don’t think he’ll be risked here at least from the start and therefore Adam Wharton comes into the side just days after his return.
Daichi Kamada
Daichi Kamada scored his first Palace goal against Crawley while also assisting and putting in an all-around great display.
Jordan Ayew
With Jesurun Rak-Sakyi being left back home as a loan looks likely it could be Jordan Ayew who replaced him. Although the Ghana international himself is linked with a move away.
Odsonne Edouard
Scored against Crawley but Odsonne Edouard also saw a few big chances go amiss, he’ll need to do better to usurp Jean-Philippe Mateta.
