Not sure about this one. Palace are in a false position in my view, Eze is a player and Matete is big and strong and has caused us problems in the past, presuming they play. I can see a tough game with our inevitable changes.
I’d take a 2-1 (Duran, Beundia).

Doubt Palace will be anywhere near full strength

[RamboandBruno]

Just read they only changed three players for their game in the last round against QPR.

They don't really have a choice but to play almost full strength as they have fuck all in reserves. They'll get murdered if they don't

[frank black]

I think we will toil and go out with a whimper.

[London Villan]

I do wonder if clubs ever come to a gentleman's agreement before the match about the type of starting line-ups they put out.

They only made three changes in the last round, and one of those was due to an injury. Hopefully they have one eye on what appears a fairly vital game against Wolves at the weekend, but I'd guess they'll play more first team players than us.

They don't have another strength and they are in a much better position League wise than they were in Round 3.

If you're not in Europe, I don't think there is an excuse for not going full strength in the cups. You might end a season playing just 40 games if you get knocked out in the first round.

Palace will pick strong. We'll do well to win this one given that we won't be at full strength

Is the game on Villa TV
tried to figure it out put can not see if it is or isn't
Only game of the round not on local TV

[VillaTim]

Palace have a huge game away at Wolves Saturday so i think they will prioritise that. I'm expecting 4 to 5 changes.
They will also look at the teams left in this and know that even if they get past us they aren't going much further .

[JUAN PABLO]

especially with wolves not playing in the week .

Weird ticket take up. Lower Holte and Upper Holte pretty full bar the wings. Same with the Trinity bar the two blocks in the third tier. Witton pretty full, upper North almost empty.

Aren’t Palace having that?
