Predicted Crystal Palace Line-up To Face West Bromwich Albion In The Premier League
Roy Hodgson has done a wonderful job since taking over as Crystal Palace manager. His side come into this game fighting for 10th place in the league rather than still being involved in the relegation battle. The pressure is off and they can play with freedom now.
West Brom can play with freedom as well, but for more unfortunate reasons, as their relegation has been confirmed. They have some big decisions to make over the summer but Darren Moore is surely in with a shout of becoming their permanent manager.
Probable Crystal Palace XI
Manager: Roy Hodgson
Formation: 4-4-2
Wayne Hennessey (GK)
Hennessey had a good game against Stoke but wasn’t really tested too much. There was nothing he could’ve done about the goal and he will be pleased with his contributions.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB)
The young right-back has been excellent for Crystal Palace when he has played and he offers them an extra attacking threat going forward on the right-hand side.
James Tomkins (CB)
Tomkins has been one of Crystal Palace’s best players this season and has defended excellently at the back. He has also chipped in with three goals for his team.
Mamadou Sakho (CB)
Sakho has been fantastic for Crystal Palace this season under Roy Hodgson and the centre-back has proved to be an excellent signing for them. Never looks comfortable with the ball at his feet but is an excellent defender.
Patrick Van Aanholt (LB)
The left-back is a fantastic player and always wants to get forward for his team. He has 4 goals this season and it would be interesting to see him be tried as a winger next season.
James McArthur (RM)
The midfielder had an excellent game against Stoke. He both started and finished the move for the first goal and that really changed the game.
Yohan Cabaye (CM)
The 32-year-old has not looked great for Crystal Palace this season and perhaps age is starting to catch up with him. Had a bad game against Stoke and will want to pick it up against West Brom.
Luka Milivojevic (CM)
The Serbian has been fantastic for Palace this season and adds some real bite and creativity to the midfield. Has 10 goals this season, which is a brilliant return.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (LM)
The on-loan Chelsea youngster has been very good this season and it will be interesting to see what happens to him in the summer.
Andros Towsend (ST)
Has been playing up front for a while now and it is working out pretty well for them. He offers pace, skill and can often pop up with a goal from nowhere.
Wilfried Zaha (ST)
Zaha is an incredibly talented player and one cannot imagine where Crystal Palace would be without him. They have not won a game without him in their side since 2016 and he has proved his worth in the last few games.
