Wolves vs Crystal Palace

Wolves take on Crystal Palace in round three of the world’s oldest football competition, the English FA cup.Nuno Espirito Santo will have some concerns as his team have gone four games without a win in the Premier League.After beating Sheffield United, Crystal Palace however will head to Molineux with a confidence boost after ending a run of five matches without a victory.

Wolves

Four time FA cup winners Wolves have played well in their recent games but the results are not coming as they had envisaged..They are badly missing Raul Jimenez and they’ve also had other injury problems with six first team players injured.Fabio Silva in attack is still young and inexperienced.Podence and Traore could well be the key players for Nuno Santo to qualify to the next round.

Crystal Palace

Verdict

Home win
