Pre-match preview

Crystal Palace

Eddie Nketiah is a doubt for Crystal Palace because of injury, and Jaydee Canvot's absence from the side against Ipswich Town last time out was a sporting decision by Pierre Sage rather than injury-related. Chris Richards and Canvot have each started twice at right-back in the last four matches, with Richards set to keep his place again here.

Daichi Kamada has provided three assists across that spell and is expected to line up again just behind Jørgen Strand Larsen. Tyrick Mitchell has also contributed from wide areas, scoring twice in the same run.

Lech Poznań

Mikael Ishak is expected to retain his starting place against Crystal Palace. He had made only one start in Lech Poznań's past few matches before getting his chance against Górnik Zabrze, and is now expected to continue in the side for Thursday's trip.

Antoni Kozubal is missing because he is not registered, despite two starts in central midfield across Lech's recent games. Karl Berggren is favoured to start in midfield ahead of Filip Jagiełło, who came off the bench against Górnik Zabrze. At right-back, Joel Pereira is expected to keep his place, with Robert Gumny another recent starter in that position.
