Crystal Palace
As Crystal Palace began to find their feet, fate threw tough new obstacles in the Eagles’ way. Key midfielders Adam Worthington and Eberechi Eze find themselves on the sidelines, forcing coach Oliver Glasner to experiment with his line-up once again.
Despite a significant number of injuries, the London team managed to provide a decent performance against Wolverhampton the previous day. At Molineux, Glasner’s men looked deserving of victory, but ultimately had to settle for a 2-2 draw.

West Ham vs Everton: Match Preview and Prediction
In Wolverhampton, the effectiveness of the attackers left something to be desired. Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eddie Nketiah and Ismaïla Sarr totaled ten shots, almost half of which were on target, but none found the back of the net. As a result, the defenders had to take care of the scoring, with Trevoh Chalobah and Marc Guehi scoring, and Daniel Muñoz providing an assist.
Draw against Wolverhampton leaves Crystal Palace hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone. The Eagles are only two points ahead of Ipswich, currently eighteenth, which increases the pressure on the team and in particular on Oliver Glasner.
Fulham
On Monday, the Cottagers proved that their recent run of bad luck was just a series of unfortunate events. Various statistics indicated that Fulham deserved much more than the single point they got from their clashes against Manchester City (2:3), Aston Villa (1:3) and Everton (1:1). The home game against Brentford presented a perfect opportunity for the Londoners to get back on track, which Marco Silva’s side seized with a narrow victory (2:1), but not without drama. They trailed 1:0 until the last minute, although they dominated in terms of play and possession. A dramatic turnaround was brought about by Harry Wilson, who had been absent from the starting team this season.

On the wings, Marco Silva places great confidence in Adama Traoré and Alex Iwobi, who generally meet the coach’s expectations. Prior to his return to the field against Brentford, Wilson had only played 57 minutes this season. However, his double against the Bees could radically change his fortunes and prove to be a turning point in the season for the Welshman, who is at the peak of his career.

Crystal Palace vs Fulham: Author’s Prediction
Four of the last five matches between these two teams have ended in a draw. I’m leaning towards another draw in this match, but I think the visitors have a slightly better chance of success. Crystal Palace’s complicated injury situation is working against them. My prediction is that Fulham will not lose.
