It’s a Premier League mid-table London derby this weekend as Oliver Glasner’s squad head over the river to take on Marco Silva’s Fulham at Craven Cottage.
For a side whom pundits had doomed to go down, the Cottagers have enjoyed a successful season, sitting 13th in the table. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace had been dappling with a potential relegation battle but since the Austrian manager’s arrival in February, the Eagles are now firmly clear of the drop-zone having registered wins over Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle.
The Selhurst Park side have also managed securing these nine points with several key figures missing from the pitch. Ahead of Saturday’s clash in West London, here is the latest news from both Selhurst Park and Craven Cottage camps...
1. Sam Johnstone - Crystal Palace
OUT - Will continue to recover from elbow surgery
2. Cheick Doucoure - Crystal Palace
OUT - We are not likely to see Doucoure until after the season ends following a lower leg injury
3. Jefferson Lerma - Crystal Palace
OUT - Larma will be out of action until Manchester United with a thigh injury
4. Marc Guehi - Crystal Palace
OUT - Guehi is expected back in the team next week but Glasner will not be risking anything
