The Eagles’ offense needs some rejuvenation at this point. The last 10 games for Crystal Palace across all competitions only saw the team winning three games while netting in just six goals. With a rough schedule ahead, Zaha, Edouard, and Jordan Ayew should be tightening up those laces and be on a frenzy for goals to keep their position in the Prem alive.
Midfielderrs Bruno Fernandes, Christian Eriksen, and Casemiro are no slouch either, as they continue to dominate the midfield with their superior passing and quick defending skills.

Young forwards Alejandro Garnacho and Antony continue to show flashes of their brilliance.
