Crystal Palace host Chelsea at Selhurst Park this Sunday while they aim to end a dismal winless run.
The Eagles have moved through a testing winter period without a victory in seven league matches. Manager Oliver Glasner remains under pressure to deliver a result against a side they rarely beat. Palace have struggled in London derbies recently and desperately need to secure their home fortress. A positive result today would lift the gloom and provide a platform for their survival fight.
Crystal Palace Team News
Oliver Glasner manages a squad bolstered by the return of two vital senior figures. Notably, Daniel Muñoz has recovered from a knee injury and returns to the matchday squad. Ismaïla Sarr is also available following his successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Senegal. Consequently, Glasner has more natural width and defensive solidity available for the visit of Chelsea.
Dean Henderson will lead the side out as the new club captain following several high-profile departures. He will be protected by a back three likely featuring Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards. In midfield, Adam Wharton remains the primary creative outlet alongside Jefferson Lerma. Jean-Philippe Mateta will spearhead the attack as he seeks to improve his impressive home scoring record. The Frenchman has scored six of Palace’s last seven league goals at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace predicted XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Lerma; Devenny, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Johnson, Pino; Mateta
