Crystal Palace's Current Form and Challenges
Crystal Palace, currently 12th in the Premier League, has been experiencing a mixed run of form. With 6 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses in their 22 matches, they have shown moments of brilliance, such as their 2-0 victory over West Ham United, where Jean-Philippe Mateta was instrumental. However, they have struggled to maintain consistency, failing to win in their last four games and not securing a home victory in their last four attempts. The recent signing of Romain Esse from Millwall is a positive development, but the team has also been dealing with a sickness bug that affected their squad before their FA Cup match against Stockport County.

They have shown resilience, securing a 2-0 win against Leicester City but also experiencing a 2-3 loss to West Ham United. Fulham has scored in their last seven matches, indicating a consistent attacking threat.
