Crystal Palace host Leeds United at Selhurst Park this afternoon, aiming to avenge a heavy December defeat and maintain their impressive recent league momentum.
The Eagles have moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone under manager Oliver Glasner, who oversaw a statement win over Tottenham last time out in the Premier League. Palace remain unbeaten in their last seven home league encounters with the Whites and will look to exploit a Leeds side that has struggled significantly on the road this season.
Crystal Palace team news
Oliver Glasner manages a squad nearing full health but must manage the return of several key figures carefully. Notably, Daniel Muñoz faces a late fitness test on a shoulder injury; should he miss out, Nathaniel Johnson is expected to deputise at right wing-back.
Consequently, the manager is also managing Jean-Philippe Mateta’s return from a lengthy layoff, with the Frenchman likely restricted to a second-half cameo to build rhythm. Notably, Adam Wharton has been the creative engine for Palace, providing five assists from line-breaking passes this season—the most in the Premier League.
Dean Henderson will start in goal behind a defensive line likely featuring Maxence Lacroix and Chadi Riad. In midfield, Wharton will partner Will Hughes to provide the technical base needed to control the tempo.
Borna Sosa and Ismaïla Sarr will provide the width, while Yeremy Pino is pushing for a start in the creative roles behind Jørgen Strand Larsen. Larsen has been clinical since joining the club, netting three goals in his first five games with a conversion rate of 27.3%.
