Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi is unavailable after requiring hospital treatment following a facial injury in Saturday's FA Cup final victory against Manchester City.

Also ruled out is midfielder Adam Wharton, who was taken to hospital for concussion checks after being struck in the head by a shot from Kevin de Bruyne at Wembley.

Cheick Doucoure and Chadi Riad are not expected to play again until next season.

Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen could return to the starting line-up following a minor groin issue.

Yerson Mosquera, Enso Gonzalez and Sasa Kalajdzic are among the visitors' long-term absentees.

Match facts
Head-to-head


Crystal Palace have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Wolves (D1, L1), with both exceptions in this run coming away from home.

Wolves have lost their last four Premier League away fixtures against Palace.

Crystal Palace

The Eagles have won 21 matches in all competitions this season. The only campaigns in which they recorded more victories as a top-flight club were 1989-90 and 1990-91, claiming 22 and 28 wins respectively.

Palace ended a run of five league fixtures without a win by beating Tottenham on 11 May.

Victory in this game would give Palace 52 points, the most by a Premier League side who failed to win any of their first eight matches of the season.

A draw would put the Eagles on 50 points - they have not reached that milestone in a top-flight season since 1991-92, when they amassed 57 points.

Crystal Palace have only lost their final home league game in one of the past 12 seasons (W8, D3).

Eberechi Eze could become just the third Palace player to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances, emulating Christian Benteke and Neil Shipperley.

Daniel Munoz has scored four goals and had five assists in this season's Premier League, and could become the first Palace defender to reach double figures for goal involvements in a single campaign in the competition.

Wolves

Wolves have lost their past two games, failing to score in both matches, ending a run of six consecutive victories.

They haven't lost three in a row without scoring in the Premier League since October 2022.

Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 23 top-flight away games against London sides, conceding 50 goals in this run.

They have lost their final away league fixture in each of the previous eight seasons.

Wolves have conceded a joint-high nine penalties in the Premier League this season, with seven of those scored. They are the only side who have not been awarded a spot-kick.

 
Doyle and shock horror Johnstone out injured
 
Anyone at the club who was involved in that Johnstone signing who is still here (in any capacity) should be sacked in the summer.
 
I'm not sure that I am able to make this game as planned now, so if anybody is interested in a ticket, feel free to send me a PM.
 
It's a big ask down our right side but I guess we all wanted to see what young Gomes and Djiga look like together.
 
Not entirely sure it needed *that* many changes in one go, but he’s the manager for a reason.

Excited to see Rodrigo from the start and it’ll be interesting to see how Djiga gets on. Guedes & Sarabia as part of a front three though… 🤢

Silver lining is that Palace 11 looks rancid.
 
6 changes, but those that have come in are seasoned PL players. I was more confident of the win before I saw the teamsheets though

I never have any confidence at all when we're away at palace. We'll get pressed high, struggle to get a foothold in the game and then lose 0-3
 
Was looking forward to this but now find it's a bit Meh.

The millions riding on positions, I was hoping we'd go a bit stronger.
