Jean-Philippe Mateta is included in the Crystal Palace squad after signing on loan from Bundesliga side Mainz, but James Tomkins remains a doubt after missing the defeat to West Ham United last time out.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be without Rayan Ait-Nouri, who came off in midweek. Morgan Gibbs-White (self-isolating) has been cleared to return to training.

Did you know?

Only Tottenham Hotspur have scored more goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches than Palace this season, with a league-high 29 per cent of the Eagles' goals coming in this time frame

Wilfried Zaha has scored nine goals in 17 PL appearances this season. Only in 2018/19, with 10, has he scored more in a single campaign in the competition.

Wolves are looking to complete their first league double over Palace since 2008/09 in the Championship. They last did so in the top flight in the 1971/72 season.

Having already beaten Palace twice this term, once in the PL and once in the FA Cup, Wolves are on course to beat the same team three times in a season for the first time since three successful encounters with Reading in 2002/03.
