Crystal Palace XI vs Shelbourne – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace head to Ireland on Thursday night looking to secure a vital victory in the UEFA Conference League.

Oliver Glasner’s side are currently 18th in the league phase table. A win against struggling Shelbourne is essential if they want to push for a top-eight finish and bypass the playoff round. The Eagles are flying high domestically after their best-ever start to a Premier League season.

However, they have been inconsistent in Europe so far. This trip to Dublin offers a chance to rotate the squad while maintaining momentum. Glasner will demand a professional performance against a side that has yet to score in the competition.

Oliver Glasner is set to ring the changes to keep his squad fresh for the weekend. Daniel Muñoz is being rested due to a minor knee issue. Consequently, Nathaniel Clyne is expected to start on the right. Ismaïla Sarr remains out with an ankle injury, while Cheick Doucouré is also sidelined. This rotation opens the door for several fringe players.

Borna Sosa could start at wing-back, while youngster Justin Devenny is pushing for a place in the attacking midfield roles. In defence, Jaydee Canvot is in contention to start alongside Marc Guéhi and Maxence Lacroix. Up front, Eddie Nketiah is likely to lead the line as he looks to add to his European goal tally.
