Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Crystal Palace play their first home Premier League match of the season on Sunday, welcoming Nottingham Forest to Selhurst Park.

The game comes at the end of a hectic week for the Eagles, who must quickly refocus after their historic European debut on Thursday. The squad is also adapting to life without their star player following a major late-window transfer.

Crystal Palace vs Nottingham Forest – Predicted lineup and team news

Crystal Palace team news

Oliver Glasner’s first home team selection of the league season will be defined by the imminent departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal. The manager must now find a new way to unlock defences without his primary creative talent.

His creative options are further limited by injuries. The manager confirmed that Daichi Kamada is “nearing a return” from the knee injury he suffered in the Community Shield but will not be fit for Sunday’s game. He joins fellow key midfielder Cheick Doucouré on the sidelines, leaving the squad light in the centre of the park.

Compounding the issue is squad fatigue after Thursday’s historic Europa Conference League victory. Glasner will almost certainly rotate his squad to keep players fresh, which could see the likes of Romain Esse and summer signing Borna Sosa brought into the starting eleven.

Crystal Palace Predicted Lineup

Crystal Palace predicted XI: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guéhi; Muñoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Sarr, Esse; Mateta.
