FA Cup winners Crystal Palace will return to the Premier League on Tuesday to face Wolves at Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley on Saturday to win the FA Cup and are currently in 12th place with 49 points, while 14th-placed Wolves are eight points behind Crystal Palace and lost 0-2 to Brighton on May 10.


The home team's 16th-minute goal in the FA Cup final was the first of their two shots on target, and head coach Oliver Glasner did not mind that his team could easily concede if Manchester City took any of the three great chances because his players are all champions. Crystal Palace's victory means they will play in the Europa League next season, but they are still likely to finish 10th in the Premier League, which would be their highest position since returning to the top flight in the 2013-14 season.


After Crystal Palace's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the recent Premier League, the club only needs one more point to surpass its highest points since returning to the Premier League. Glasner's team won two games in a row on Tuesday and had no defeats in the previous four games, with only three draws. Crystal Palace's performance at Selhurst Park is very good. The team is unbeaten in the past eight home games, with six wins, four clean sheets and a total of 15 goals scored.


Wolves lost 0-2 to Brighton in the last round of the league. In this game, the winners took chances twice, although their non-penalty xG value of 0.78 was lower than Wolves' 0.91xG. The visiting team has not scored in the past two games and conceded three goals, but they kept three clean sheets in the previous six games and scored 13 goals. Head coach Vitor Pereira will be looking to improve a poor record against Crystal Palace, as they have been beaten in six of their last eight meetings with the club, despite earning a point after a 2-2 draw with the hosts in the first leg on November 2.


Before the last two games, the 'Old Gold' had won six of those games, beating the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham, but losses to Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion ended their winning streak. Wolves have won four of their last five Premier League away games, but in their last six games at Selhurst Park, they have lost five and drawn one.


Crystal Palace predicted starting lineup:

Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Lerma; Clyne, Hughes, Camada, Mitchell; Essai, Sarr; Nketiah


Wolves predicted starting lineup:

Sarr; Doherty, Agbadu, Gomez; Semedo, Gomez, Andre, Nouri; Cunha Munezi; Guedes
