Crystal Palace vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace host bottom-placed Wolves at Selhurst Park on Sunday, looking to recapture their defensive solidity and distance themselves further from the relegation zone.

The Eagles have moved into a difficult period, managing just one win in their last 15 matches across all competitions. Manager Oliver Glasner oversaw a frustrating 1–1 draw in Bosnia on Thursday night and has challenged his side to return to the defensive foundations that yielded seven clean sheets earlier this season. Notably, just 37.5% of Palace’s points this season have come at home, the second-lowest share in the division.

Crystal Palace Team News

Oliver Glasner manages a squad severely depleted by injuries to key senior figures. Notably, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eddie Nketiah, and Cheick Doucouré remain sidelined, while Jefferson Lerma is also ruled out. Consequently, former Wolves striker Jørgen Strand Larsen is expected to lead the line. Notably, Strand Larsen has already scored twice in just 180 minutes for the Eagles, more than he managed in 1405 minutes for Wolves this term. Defenders Maxence Lacroix and Chadi Riad are late decisions following knocks in midweek.

Dean Henderson will start in goal behind a back three likely featuring Chris Richards, Canvot, and Chadi Riad. In midfield, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada are expected to anchor the side, with Daniel Muñoz and Tyrick Mitchell operating as wing-backs. Ismaïla Sarr and Yeremy Pino will provide the creative spark behind Jørgen Strand Larsen. Notably, Palace have won their last five home meetings against Wolves, but are currently on their longest winless run at Selhurst Park since 1997.
