Crystal Palace vs Fulham
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Selhurst Park
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Crystal Palace and Fulham will battle it out at Selhurst Park on Saturday in a key London derby for both clubs.
Roy Hodgson's Palace currently sit four points about the relegation zone following their 1-1 draw at Southampton - a point which was marred by Wilfried Zaha's red card.
Palace must make do without their talisman against a Fulham side who sit six points from safety, though Claudio Ranieri's team will be buoyed by a thrilling 4-2 comeback win over Brighton in midweek to spark hopes of surviving the drop.
Crystal Palace team news and predicted line-up
Wilfried Zaha is banned for Saturday's match, and could face a further suspension after being charged with improper conduct by the FA.
Zaha was dismissed after 87 minutes of the 1-1 draw for two yellow cards in quick succession - the first for tangling with James Ward-Prowse and the second for apparently sarcastically clapping referee Andre Marriner.
Palace XI: Guaita, Wan Bissaka, Tomkins, Sakho, Van Aanholt, Kouyate, Milivojevic, McArthur, Townsend, Ayew, Schlupp
Fulham team news and predicted line-up
Andre Schurrle and Joe Bryan face late fitness tests for Fulham, while Alfie Mawson remains out with a knee injury.
Ranieri replaced Tim Ream with Tom Cairney after just 27 minutes with Fulham 2-0 down against Brighton, and the change sparked the comeback win - expect to see Cairney start.
Fulham XI: Rico, Christie, Odoi, Le Marchard, Bryan, Seri, Bryan, Chambers, Cairney, Babel, Mitrovic, Schurrle
Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-2 Fulham
Palace will no doubt be blunted by Zaha's absence, though they face a Fulham side who have conceded 53 League goals this season - the most of any top-flight side by a distance.
However, Fulham will be full of confidence after beating Brighton, and Aleksandar Mitrovic will feel he can find space in behind this Palace defence.
