They looked spent at home to Fulham the other night and should have lost. They also have one less day to recover than us. It's now or never for Emery to show he can beat Glasner. If not, I'd lose faith and hope we have Ollie at the wheel when his contract at Palace expires at the end of the season.

Newbie Brennan Johnson will give them some new legs and perhaps a little inspiration: logic says we should win this, but ... can we lift the hex they have on us?

If we beat Palace, AT Palace, I will believe anything is possible this season...

It's the karma from that outrageous (but slightly undeserved) Duran winner at VP a few years back.

Equaliser I think. DL then scored an injury-time penalty and Bailey finished them off.

That's right. A mad remontada. It was like all our birthdays and Christmases coming at once.

Be good to have Onana back.

Wasn't the talk that he was going to be out longer than Mings and Pau, and that we won't be seeing them until mid-January?

Ah ok, I hadn’t heard that! Same team as yesterday then potentially. Might be tempted to start Bogarde instead of Beundia

This will see the Palace curse laid to rest.  1 (because we don't keep clean sheets) - 3

I’m strangely confident about this game.  A low scoring defeat it is.

Think it was something like a week to 10 days for Mings and Pau. Onana was just "longer".

On the post match tunnel clips yesterday, Onana didn't seem to be carrying an    obvious injury, so let's hope it isn't much "longer".
