Crystal Palace vs Huddersfield
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Selhurst Park
Date: Saturday, 30 March, 2019
Kick-off time: 3pm GMT
Crystal Palace shift their focus back to Premier League matters when they welcome Huddersfield to Selhurst Park this afternoon.
After their FA Cup hopes were shot down by Watford before the international break, Palace’s sole focus for the remainder of the season is to not be sucked into a relegation battle with just eight games of the season remaining.
With five points separating themselves and 18th place Cardiff, victory this weekend should ease any lingering nerves for Roy Hodgson and his side.
Defeat for Huddersfield could be the end of their Premier League dream.
Should the Terriers lose on Saturday and Burnley and Southampton both win their games they will be officially relegated back to the Championship.
Crystal Palace vs Huddersfield team news and predicted line-ups
Wilfried Zaha missed the FA Cup defeat to Watford due to a hamstring problem but was still selected for international duty by Ivory Coast.
He travelled back to London on Monday without playing a single minute for his country – a 6,400-mile round trip he probably could have done without.

Crystal Palace were assessing the fitness of their start man on Wednesday, along with Aaron Wan-Bissaka ahead of Saturday’s match.
Wan-Bissaka withdrew from the England Under-21 squad last Saturday after picking up a knock. The defender played no part in the 1-1 draw with Poland on Thursday.
Mamadou Sakho also remains sidelined.
Palace XI: Guaita; Wan-Bissaka, Kelly, Tomkins, Schlupp; Milivojevic, Kouyate, Meyer, McArthur; Townsend, Batshuayi
Huddersfield XI: Lossl, Smith, Stankovic, Kongolo, Durm, Puncheon, Mooy, Rowe, Pritchard, Lowe, Mounie
Score prediction: Crystal Palace 2-0 Huddersfield
With or without Zaha, Palace will have enough firepower to put away the Terriers.
