                                Gauci

Cash                Carlos       Bogarde         Mastsen

                        Kamara     Barkley

Philogene                                                Ramsey

                                 Beundia

                                  Duran

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

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

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

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

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 .

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?
