Crystal Palace took on AEK Larnaca in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, losing 1-0 at Selhurst Park. But if there was one positive to take from the defeat for the hosts, it was that they didn’t appear to pick up any new injury concerns.

Ahead of the game, Oliver Glasner had confirmed that the club had no injury worries other than their existing long-term issues.

“We’ve no injury concerns – all players are fit, all players look really good, and are in good shape,” Glasner said.

The three players who are currently sidelined are Cheick Doucoure, Chadi Riad Dnanou, and Caleb Kporha, none of whom are on the verge of a comeback.

Doucoure and Riad are expected back after the international break, whilst Kporha’s timeframe for a comeback remains unclear.

But that means Palace will be able to name a team similar to the one they’ve been playing all season so far, earning them three wins, four draws, and just one defeat in the Premier League.

Perhaps most notably, Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta will be available to add to his seven goals so far this season. Only Erling Haaland and Antoine Semenyo have outscored Mateta in the Premier League in 2025/26 so far.

Arsenal will have a tough time securing another clean sheet and three points on Sunday, and they’ll need to take full advantage of their two days extra rest if they’re going to achieve victory.
