Prediction and Preview

Crystal Palace 3 - 1 Shelbourne

Shelbourne possible starting lineup:

Speel; Mbeng, Barrett, Ledwidge, Norris, Kelly; Henry-Francis, Lunney, McInroy; Wood, Odubeko

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:

Henderson; Canvot, Lacroix, Guehi; Clyne, Lerma, Hughes, Sosa; Devenny, Pino; Nketiah

Shelbourne will be boosted by the return of Liverpool loanee James Norris, who is available again after serving a one-match suspension against AZ Alkmaar. The 22-year-old is in contention to reclaim a place in a five-man defence.

Jack Henry-Francis, signed from Arsenal in the summer, will hope to keep his spot in midfield alongside JJ Lunney and Kerr McInroy, while manager Damien O’Brien must decide whether to pair Mipo Odubeko or John Martin with Harry Wood in the forward line.

For Crystal Palace, Daniel Muñoz missed last weekend’s win over Fulham with a knee issue, and Oliver Glasner has indicated that the right wing-back is more likely to return for the clash with Manchester City — making an appearance against Shelbourne unlikely.

Ismaila Sarr remains out as he continues his recovery from an ankle injury before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal. Cheick Doucouré (knee), Caleb Kporha (back), Rio Cardines (groin) and Chadi Riad (knee/fitness) are also sidelined.

Glasner is expected to rotate his squad in several areas, with Jaydee Canvot, Borna Sosa, Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma and Justin Devenny all pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
