Crystal Palace lineup vs. Wolves: Predicted XI for Premier League clash

Crystal Palace have received a triple injury boost ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

Head coach Oliver Glasner has confirmed that captain Marc Guehi (foot), Eddie Nketiah (hamstring) and Jean-Philippe Mateta are all fit and available to play against the Old Gold, with the latter shaking off a minor knee issue picked up on international duty with France.

Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Caleb Kporha (back) remain long-term absentees for the Eagles, while Chadi Riad (knee) and Rio Cardines (groin) have an outside chance of featuring in the matchday squad and will both be assessed ahead of kickoff.

The return of Guehi will likely see him replace Jaydee Canvot at centre-back and play alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards in the back three, protecting goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

Daniel Munoz - who withdrew from the Colombia squad after the tragic passing of a close friend - and Tyrick Mitchell are expected to retain their places as wing-backs, while Adam Wharton could be joined in centre-midfield by either Jefferson Lerma or Will Hughes. Daichi Kamada is another midfield option, unless he is deployed in an advanced role.

Should Kamada be selected to link arms with Wharton, that would open the door for Yeremy Pino to earn a recall and start in the final third with top scorer Ismaila Sarr, who has found the net eight times for Palace in all competitions this term.

Mateta has scored twice in seven previous meetings with Wolves and both were netted in wins at Molineux in March 2022 and May 2024. The Frenchman, who has also scored six goals in 11 Premier League games for Palace this season, is expected to lead the line.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Kamada, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Mateta
