Latest team news for Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace
Wolves' trio of Matt Doherty, Leon Chiwome (knee), and Rodrigo Gomes (groin) are still unavailable, but Emmanuel Agbadou has served his suspension and is eligible to play.
Edwards previously used a three-centre-back system at Luton and Middlesbrough, and is likely to continue using it. Agbadou will compete for a starting spot in the center of defense, but Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, and Toti Gomes may be preferred.
Marshall Munetsi hopes to return to midfield to replace Andre or Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Up front, Jorgen Strand Larsen – who has only scored one goal in nine Premier League games this season – could partner Jhon Arias or Hwang Hee-chan.
For Crystal Palace, Cheick Doucoure (knee) and Caleb Kporha (back) remain unavailable. Captain Marc Guehi (foot) is doubtful to recover in time and will be assessed before the match, as are Eddie Nketiah (thigh), Chadi Riad (knee), and Rio Cardines (groin).
Jaydee Canvot will continue in the three-man defense alongside Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards if Guehi is unavailable. In midfield, Adam Wharton could partner Jefferson Lerma or Will Hughes. Daichi Kamada is another option, unless he is pushed further forward.
If Kamada is deployed in a more advanced position alongside Wharton, it opens up the possibility for Yeremy Pino to return to the starting lineup in attack alongside Jean-Philippe Mateta and main striker Ismaila Sarr, who has scored eight goals for Palace in all competitions this season.

Latest football match prediction: Wolverhampton vs Crystal Palace
Just six weeks after signing a new three-year contract with Wolves, Vitor Pereira was sacked following a 0-3 defeat to Fulham in early November. U21 coach James Collins took over for the next game and saw his team lose 0-3 to Chelsea just before the international break.
Bottom of the table and eight points behind safety, Wolves have yet to win a single game in their first 11 Premier League matches this season (2 draws, 9 losses), while conceding 25 goals – the most in the league. The only other time they failed to win in their opening 12 matches was in 1983-84 (14 winless games).
Only seven teams have ever failed to win their first 12 Premier League games, but Wolves can take some comfort in the fact that three of them (Everton 1994-95, Derby County 2000-01 and Newcastle 2021-22) still managed to avoid relegation at the end of the season.
Tasked with turning things around, new manager Rob Edwards has a deep understanding of Wolves, having played for the club as a player, manager, and U23 coach. He signed a three-year contract after leaving Middlesbrough – a team competing for promotion to the Championship.
Interestingly, Edwards' first home win in the Premier League with his former club Luton Town was against Crystal Palace, which came in the very first match after the November international break of the 2023-24 season.
Edwards hopes to make an immediate impact this weekend, but beating Crystal Palace is no easy task. Wolves have won only one of their last nine Premier League meetings against Palace (one draw, seven defeats), despite winning three of their first five encounters (one draw, one defeat).
Following their impressive 3-0 victory over Liverpool in the EFL Cup at the end of October, Crystal Palace went on a three-match unbeaten run in November across all competitions, winning 2-0 against Brentford, 3-1 against AZ Alkmaar, and drawing 0-0 with Brighton two weeks ago.
The Eagles have had four wins, five draws and two losses after 11 rounds of the Premier League. They are 10th – just two points behind the top four – but have only won all three of their last five matches (two draws, two losses).
Only Burnley (39%) have a lower average possession rate than Palace this season (42%). Notably, Palace failed to win in both matches where they had more possession than their opponents (a 0-0 draw with Sunderland and a 3-3 draw with Bournemouth).
Palace entered the match against Wolves with two consecutive away defeats against Everton (2-1) and Arsenal (1-0). This equals their number of away losses in the previous 18 matches (9 wins, 7 draws). The last time they lost three consecutive away games was in February 2024.
Nevertheless, Palace have a good head-to-head record against Wolves, winning 57% of their Premier League matches against the West Midlands side (8 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses) – their highest win rate against any opponent they have faced more than 10 times.
