Hoping to break their winless streak on their eighth attempt this Premier League season, Crystal Palace are set to face a Nottingham Forest side now without Nuno Espirito Santo at the City Ground on Monday evening.
The hosts displayed their defensive resilience two weekends ago at Stamford Bridge, standing firm against Chelsea's high-powered attack for nearly an hour. An upset looked possible when Chris Wood nudged in the opener, threatening to derail Chelsea's plans.
As for the visitors, they too have endured a dismal run, going without a win in their opening seven fixtures of the 2024-25 campaign. It's a stark contrast to Oliver Glasner's side that ended the previous season in spectacular form, earning 19 points from their final seven matches.

Team news & squads
Nottingham Forest team news
Along with Nuno Espirito Santo serving a three-game touchline suspension, The hosts will also be without Morgan Gibbs-White, who faces an additional ban after admitting to improper conduct during the draw against Brighton. His suspension, however, may come at a convenient time as he is recovering from an ankle injury sustained against Chelsea.
James Ward-Prowse's red card at Stamford Bridge – the result of two yellow cards – has earned him a one-match suspension, meaning Nicolas Dominguez and Anthony Elanga are likely to be drafted into the starting lineup to replace the suspended duo.
On a positive note, first-choice goalkeeper Matz Sels is expected to play despite pulling out of Belgium's squad, but Forest will be missing Ibrahim Sangare (thigh) and Danilo (ankle) for an extended period.
Nottingham Forest possible XI: Sels; Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Moreno; Yates, Dominguez; Hudson-Odoi, Anderson, Elanga; Wood
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Sels, Miguel |
| Defenders: | Morata, Murillo, Williams, Omobamidele, Toffolo, Da Silva Moreira, Moreno, Milenkovic, Aina, Abbott |
| Midfielders: | Anderson, Gibbs-White, Dominguez, Ward-Prowse, Yates |
| Forwards: | Awoniyi, Wood, Hudson-Odoi, Silva, Elanga, Sosa, Dennis |
Crystal Palace team news
The visitors, too, have their share of absentees for Monday's clash. Chadi Riad (knee), Chris Richards (thigh), Cheick Doucoure (toe), and Matheus Franca (groin) are all sidelined, while Matt Turner is ineligible to face his parent club.
However, Daniel Munoz has shaken off the adductor injury he suffered against Liverpool, and Adam Wharton has also been cleared to play after pulling out of England Under-21 duty with a similar issue.
Given their impressive showing against Liverpool two weeks ago, manager Oliver Glasner may stick with an unchanged starting eleven, with Eberechi Eze, Eddie Nketiah, and Ismaila Sarr leading the attack, while Jean-Philippe Mateta remains an option from the bench.
Crystal Palace possible XI: Henderson; Guehi, Chalobah, Lacroix; Munoz, Wharton, Lerma, Mitchell; Sarr, Nketiah, Eze
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Henderson, Turner, Matthews |
| Defenders: | Ward, Mitchell, Lacroix, Guehi, Munoz, Clyne, Chalobah |
| Midfielders: | Lerma, Eze, Schlupp, Kamada, Hughes, Wharton |
| Forwards: | Sarr, Nketiah, Mateta |
