🆚 Crystal Palace
🏟 Craven Cottage
🏆 Premier League
🗓 Saturday 22nd February
⏰ 3pm
#️⃣ FULCRY
The opposition
Crystal Palace have put a tough first half of the season behind them of late, losing just two of their eight post-Christmas Premier League matches to move up to 13th, quashing any relegation concerns as they currently have a 13 point cushion from the bottom three.
Their away form has been particularly impressive, with three consecutive 2-0 victories at the homes of Leicester City, West Ham United and Manchester United, while they also have a South-East London derby against Millwall to look forward to in the Fifth Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
Team news
🤍 Marco Silva will still be without Kenny Tete, Harry Wilson and Reiss Nelson, the latter of whom could be out for the remainder of the season, sadly.
🦅 Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure are both out for the season, while club captain Joel Ward will also be absent at Craven Cottage with a calf injury. Ebere Eze came off the bench in last week's defeat by Everton having recovered from injury, with Oliver Glasner confirming that the England man is now in a position to start for the Eagles.
