Crystal Palace team news
Crystal Palace enter their Matchweek 4 clash at Selhurst Park dealing with a minor selection crisis in attack, though manager Pierre Sage has fresh reinforcement options following the transfer deadline.
The Eagles will definitely be without forward Jean-Philippe Mateta due to a hamstring injury, while Ismaïla Sarr is also ruled out with a groin issue.
Furthermore, Eddie Nketiah faces a late fitness test after being forced off at half-time last weekend.
On a brighter note, Jørgen Strand Larsen is pushing to lead the line following his impressive two-goal performance in the midweek EFL Cup victory over Middlesbrough.
Crystal Palace fans could also see a heavy involvement from late-window arrivals Ben Chilwell, Quinten Timber, and Darío Osorio, all of whom are available and eager to make an impact in front of the home crowd.
Ipswich Town team news
Ipswich Town manager Gary O’Neil takes his side to south London in high spirits, boasting a nearly fully fit squad following a valuable week of rest and recovery.
The Tractor Boys received a major boost as winger Jaden Philogene has successfully recovered from an ankle injury and has been cleared to start the match.
Midfielder Azor Matusiwa has also returned to full training, though he is expected to begin on the bench as he works his way back to peak match fitness.
The visitors’ only definitive absentee is midfielder Jack Taylor, who remains sidelined with an ongoing injury.
In attack, Zian Flemming is heavily pushing for his first start of the season, looking to provide vital creative support to fellow summer signing Emersonn as Ipswich hunt for a crucial away result.
Form
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace have successfully turned their form around after a difficult start, building a lot of momentum under new manager Pierre Sage. The Eagles secured their first Premier League victory of the season last weekend with a thrilling 3-2 away win against Fulham. They followed that up with a dominant 3-0 midweek victory over Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup. Now seeking a third successive win, they sit 13th in the table with three points.
Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town head into the match looking to bounce back following a mixed start to their Premier League campaign under Gary O’Neil. The Tractor Boys also have three points on the board, currently sitting 14th on goal difference. However, they suffered a disappointing 0-2 home defeat to Liverpool recently. Having enjoyed a full week of rest, they are eager to fix their defensive leak and secure their first away points.
Predicted lineups
Crystal Palace: Henderson; Canvot, Disasi, Richards; Khalaili, Timber, Wharton, Mitchell; Kamada, Pino; Strand Larsen
Ipswich Town: Scherpen; O’Shea, Diop, Greaves, Davis; Palacios, Lukic; Fatawu, Enciso, Maeda; Emersonn
