Crystal Palace travel to Craven Cottage on Wednesday night for the Carabao Cup fourth-round meeting with Fulham.
Pierre Sage’s side need a response after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United, while Fulham arrive on the back of consecutive league victories. Pressure is on Pierre Sage after failing to win the last four games and another defeat will add even more.
Crystal Palace confirmed lineup vs Fulham
Palace have named their starting XI, with Nketiah leading the attack. The forward gets a rare start for the cup tie, while Osorio and Evann Guessand are named behind him.
Crystal Palace confirmed lineup (3-4-2-1):
Henderson; Lerma, Ahanor, Richards; Mingueza, Doucoure, Hughes, Chilwell; Osorio, Guessand; Nketiah.
Dean Henderson starts in goal, with Jefferson Lerma, Ahanor and Chris Richards making up the back three. Oscar Mingueza and Ben Chilwell start on the wing back, while Doucoure and Will Hughes partner in midfield.
Sage will be hoping his Palace side can ease some pressure off him and book a place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The Eagles have an opportunity to respond after a difficult run of results.
Palace team news: Henderson returns to the starting lineup
Chadi Riad, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Quinten Timber remain sidelined through injury, while Dean Henderson returns to the starting lineup after a long injury, missing the club’s last ten matches.
Ismaila Sarr also misses out with a groin problem, and Jorgen Strand Larsen is out for the Round of 16 clash after sitting out the Newcastle defeat as well.
