Crystal Palace Recent Form
Palace form this season reflects a mid-table side fighting for equilibrium. Their last seven matches show two wins and five matches without victory. They beat Everton 2-2 (a draw, not a win) and were thrashed 3-0 by Manchester City. Their Conference League campaign has demanded midweek travel and exertion. The Europa League exit means they arrive this weekend without the mental burden of fixture congestion, but their league form is decidedly unconvincing.
