‘I am going for another…’ – Chris Sutton predicts score of Crystal Palace v Fulham

Crystal Palace will be looking to pick up another win at Selhurst Park when they face Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday (9 November).

The Eagles made a dreadful start to the season but have shown some sort of stability in recent weeks.

They are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions and are heading into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw against Wolves.

The Eagles almost got the winner against Wolves in the previous game but had a 96th-minute winner disallowed.

Oliver Glasner’s side is playing with loads of confidence, but they are up against a side that are doing exceptionally well under Marco Silva.

The Cottagers picked up a sensational win in their previous game. Harry Wilson scored two goals in the dying minutes of the game to earn a 2-1 win against Brentford.

Chris Sutton, however, thinks that the game has a draw written all over it. He has predicted a 1-1 draw for this game.

What Chris Sutton has said about Crystal Palace v Fulham

Sutton said to BBC Sport: “Palace’s form has started to pick up and they almost got their second win in a row last week – they had a 96th-minute winner disallowed against Wolves, when it should have stood – or at least as far as I could see.

“Fulham are always stronger at home, but they are a nicely balanced team and they have picked up a few points on the road too.

“Apologies to everyone for sitting on the fence again, but I am going for another draw.”

Crystal Palace missing several key players

This is the last match before the November international break and the Eagles need it badly.

They are missing a host of key players through injuries, such as Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze.

Palace will also be without Eddie Nketiah for this game, whose time at Selhurst Park is going from bad to worse.

The former Arsenal striker has yet to score or assist in seven Premier League appearances for his new club. He has now picked up a hamstring injury and will not play any part in this game.
