Team News: Palace vs. Fulham injury, suspension list, predicted XIs

Two sides on contrasting runs of form meet on New Year’s Day as struggling Crystal Palace host in-form Fulham at Selhurst Park in a London derby for Premier League matchday 19.

The Eagles are without a victory in each of their last five matches across all competitions, including three successive top-flight defeats, most recently a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, while a 1-0 victory over West Ham United at the weekend saw the Cottagers extend their winning streak in the league to three.

Here Sports Mole rounds up the latest team news ahead of the clash, which marks the second meeting between the sides in three weeks, following Palace’s 2-1 triumph in the reverse fixture.
