Jensen returned to the starting lineup to combine with Janelt and Nørgaard for Thomas Frank?s ideal midfield trio. Wissa led the line with Keane Lewis-Potter after his bright performance against Wolves.
Roy Hodgson deployed a 4-3-3 with Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, and Mitchell on the backline. Palace?s midfield consisted of Lerma, Eze and newly converted defensive midfielder, Chris Richards. Olise and Ayew were the wide players, while Mateta deployed in a target man role centrally. 2nd Minute
