Crystal Palace Team News And Predicted Lineup: Maxence Lacroix Suspended For The Eagles
Oliver Glasner brings his team to North London, sitting 14th, a comfortable seven points above the drop. They’re in a better spot than the Spurs right now, but are missing Maxence Lacroix, who is out after that tough red card against Manchester United last weekend.
On the bright side, Jefferson Lerma is back, but Glasner says he’s only ready for about 20 minutes off the bench. Up front, Eddie Nketiah and Jean-Philippe Mateta are still sidelined long-term, so Eberechi Eze has to carry the load when it comes to scoring.

Dean Henderson; Nathaniel Clyne, Marc Guehi, Chris Richards; Daniel Munoz, Adam Wharton, Will Hughes, Tyrick Mitchell; Eberechi Eze, Daichi Kamada; Ismaila Sarr.
