Crystal Palace secured a solid three points in a morale-boosting 1-0 win over Liverpool at the weekend. Eberechi Eze scored the goal after a fascinating build-up play that was crowned with a deserved finish.
That was the first win in five for the Eagles and only their second win under new manager Oliver Glasner. Most importantly the win also highlighted what Palace have missed all season, Eze starting with the talented Michael Olise who has battled injuries all season. They both give Palace a different feel.
The former Reading man looked sharp and exciting in equal measure and left fans wondering how far they would have gone if they had both been fit for large parts of the campaign. The good news however is that the medical room is beginning to clear up.
The Eagles still have Marc Guehi out for the game this weekend as well as Rob Holding who started well but has since been restricted to watching from the stands due to an injury he picked up.
West Ham still have to think about Bayer 04 Leverkusen with their European ambitions hanging by a thread after a disappointing 2-0 defeat away.
The Eagles are 14th on the league table, they have never finished below that in the 10 years they have been in the Premier League, crucially though they are eight points safe from the drop so finishing a challenging season on a high will be something they will be thinking of.
So to help with that, here is the entire list of injured players and when they could potentially return.
1. Chris Richards - doubt
