Overview
- Kick-off is 17:30 GMT at Selhurst Park with live coverage on Sky Sports Premier League.
- Both managers name unchanged XIs, with Jean-Philippe Mateta starting for Palace and Raúl Jiménez leading the line for Fulham.
- Selection is shaped by absences: Palace are without Ismaïla Sarr (AFCON) and several injured regulars, while Fulham miss Calvin Bassey, Samuel Chukwueze and Alex Iwobi (AFCON) plus Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon.
- Fulham have not conceded in their last four Premier League visits to Selhurst Park, though Palace won 2-1 at Craven Cottage less than a month ago.
- Palace’s underlying issues persist, including a major finishing shortfall versus xG and a league-high share of goals conceded from set pieces.
