Preview
Wolves were dealt with a massive blow as they lost 1-0 away to West Ham United in their previous EPL clash, which made it successive losses against top 4 candidates.
Soucek scored the only goal of the clash as Wolves suffered a 10th loss of the season, leaving them in 8th place with 40 points.
With 3 losses from their last 5 matches in the league, Lage’s men need to turn things around before they move further away from their top 4 hopes.
On the other hand, Crystal Palace beat Stoke City in their mid-week FA Cup Round 5 match to book themselves a place in the next round.
A 1-1 draw at home last week to Burnley pushed Palace out of the top 10 as Schlupp and Milivojevic (og) ensured a share of the spoils.
Palace has been inconsistent with 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss from their last 5 matches across competitions. As a result, it is a chance for a revival as they aim a top half finish this season.
Both sides last met in November, where Crystal Palace won 2-0 at home.

Wolves are the side under pressure and need to deliver in this one. The visitors have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches and could be a tough nut to crack.
