Crystal Palace travel to Craven Cottage on Sunday, hoping to continue their push for European football.
Oliver Glasner’s side currently sit fifth in the Premier League table. They enter this contest with high confidence following a solid run of form. They secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley in their previous outing. Furthermore, the Eagles have built their success on a resolute defensive foundation.
They have conceded just 11 goals all season, which is the second-best record in the division. Consequently, confidence is high within the camp ahead of this London derby. A win would strengthen their bid for a Champions League place. Moreover, they are looking to secure consecutive derby victories for the first time in years.
Crystal Palace team news
Oliver Glasner is optimistic that Borna Sosa will return following a recent knock. The left-back missed the last three matches but is nearing full fitness. However, Ismaïla Sarr remains unavailable for selection due to an ankle injury.
In addition, the Eagles are missing several long-term absentees, including Cheick Doucouré and Chadi Riad. Caleb Kporha also remains in the treatment room with a back issue. Therefore, Daichi Kamada is expected to continue in an advanced role supporting Jean-Philippe Mateta.
