Crystal Palace have had a challenging 2024-25 season as they are sitting just two points above the drop zone in the Premier League after 10 matches. 

However, there have been very positive signs recently for the Eagles as they have put together a three-game unbeaten run in all competitions. 

Oliver Glasner’s men sealed an excellent 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur before they knocked Aston Villa out of the Carabao Cup in the fourth round. 

Palace also came away with a point from Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, with Marc Guehi scoring a late equaliser in the 2-2 draw. 

The South London outfit will now face Fulham on home soil in the Premier League. 

Predicted Crystal Palace XI vs Fulham 

Oliver Glasner is unlikely to make many changes to the team that played against Wolves last time. 

Dean Henderson made several key interventions in his previous outing. The 27-year-old will be hoping to make a similar impact for his side this Saturday. 

In front of the goalkeeper, the trio of Trevoh Chalobah, Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi are expected to keep their first-team berths. 

Daniel Munoz and Tyrick Mitchell produced an impressive display at Molineux Stadium and the duo are set to operate as wing-backs again. 

Will Hughes will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of yellow cards, allowing Cheick Doucoure to feature in midfield. The 24-year-old could be partnered in the middle of the park by Jeffrey Schlupp, who joined the club in 2017 for £12 million. 

Glasner has confirmed Eddie Nketiah will be out for Saturday’s home fixture after picking up a hamstring issue. The 25-year-old’s absence means the Austrian boss may opt for Daichi Kamada to play alongside Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta. 

Predicted XI Crystal Palace: Henderson; Chalobah, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Doucoure, Schlupp, Mitchell; Kamada, Sarr, Mateta.
