Crystal Palace is back at Selhurst Park today, eager to recover from their recent performance and secure a crucial win against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Eagles come into this match after a 1–1 draw with HSK Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Conference League on Thursday. In the Premier League, they are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3–2 loss to Burnley at home, where they let a two-goal lead slip despite a strong showing from new signing Jørgen Strand Larsen. Palace has struggled recently, winning just one of their last 11 Premier League games, but they are still eight points above the relegation zone.
Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to London following a dramatic 2–2 draw with league leaders Arsenal. They currently sit at the bottom of the table with 10 points but are unbeaten in their last three matches across competitions. Despite this, Wolves face a challenge at Selhurst Park, having lost their last five league matches there.

Form
Crystal Palace
Palace has struggled to win at home, earning only 37.5% of their Premier League points at Selhurst Park this season. Their last home league match saw them lose 3–2 to Burnley after leading 2–0. They have not won any of their last eight home league games, their longest run without a win since 1997. However, they have a strong record against Wolves, with five consecutive home league wins against them.
Wolves
Wolves arrive with newfound confidence after going unbeaten in their last three matches, including the draw with Arsenal and a win in the FA Cup against Grimsby. However, they have not won any of their last 15 away league games and are the only team in the top four tiers of English football without an away win this season. They have also found it difficult in London, winning only one of their last 11 away league matches against teams based in the capital.
