"Palace have endured a torrid end to what has otherwise been a glorious year, failing to win any of their last five matches across all competitions, including three consecutive league defeats. Their last outing saw them fall 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur, with Archie Gray's first senior goal proving decisive. That setback followed a penalty-shootout exit to Arsenal in the EFL Cup, compounding a miserable December for Oliver Glasner's side."
"The Austrian coach admitted reinforcements are "clear" priorities in the January transfer window, but for now, he must rely on his current squad to arrest a slump that has left Palace ninth in the table, six points adrift of the top four. Encouragingly, the Eagles claimed a 2-1 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage three weeks ago, extending their winning streak in this fixture to three across all competitions."
Crystal Palace have failed to win any of their last five matches across all competitions, including three consecutive league defeats. The side lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur as Archie Gray scored his first senior goal and exited the EFL Cup after a penalty-shootout defeat to Arsenal. Manager Oliver Glasner has identified January reinforcements as a clear priority but currently must rely on the existing squad to arrest a slump that leaves Palace ninth and six points adrift of the top four. Palace beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage three weeks ago, but have not beaten Fulham at Selhurst Park since February 2019 and have failed to score in the last four meetings there. Home form is poor, with Palace winless in five at Selhurst Park (D1, L3) and goalless in three of those matches. Chris Richards remains doubtful after a foot injury, with Jefferson Lerma a possible defensive option alongside Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi.
