Premier League 2024-2025: Crystal Palace-Nottingham Forest, the likely lineups
The thirty-fourth day of the Premier League will experience its conclusion on Monday, May 5, with the match scheduled at 9 p.m. Italian time between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park, home of the Eagles. The hosts will be looking to keep their sights high ahead of the May 17 FA Cup final against Manchester City, while the Reds want to win to queue up for the top five train, those that will guarantee access to the next Champions League.
Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace’s coach, will most likely go for a scheme with three defenders, four in-line midfielders, two trequartisti and a central striker. The pivot role of the attack will be given to Mateta, a goal and an assist in the last two outings, behind him will be Sarr and Eze. On the flanks likely the use of Muñoz on the right and Mitchell on the left.
On the other side Nuno Espirito Santo is aiming to take back the reins of a team that seems to have stalled in the last month: in fact, since April 5, four defeats have come between the league and FA Cup, compared to only one success. In particular, the Portuguese coach wants to regain Wood’s offensive streak, which seems to have died down a bit in recent outings.
Probable lineups:
CRYSTAL PALACE (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Muñoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze; Mateta. All. Glasner.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST (4-2-3-1): Sels; Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams; Dominguez, Anderson; Elanga, Gibbs-White, Danilo; Wood. All. Espirito Santo.
