Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze could achieve a notable Eagles feat when Oliver Glasner‘s side host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park in Monday’s Premier League showdown.
The England international returns to top-flight action after opening the scoring in last weekend’s 3-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Aston Villa, beating Emiliano Martinez with a stunning effort from outside the area.
Eze now has nine goals and 11 assists under his belt from all tournaments this season, and another strike on Sunday would see him become the first Palace player to hit double figures in one campaign since they returned to the Premier League in 2013.
The 26-year-old should work alongside Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr in an unchanged and sometimes untameable attack, as Glasner sticks with the same XI that saw off Villa so convincingly at Wembley.
Daichi Kamada was perhaps a surprise starter in midfield last weekend, but the Japan international justified his selection and should keep Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes at bay to partner the in-demand Adam Wharton again.
Tyrick Mitchell was forced off in the second half of the win over Villa, but the left-back is fine to line up in his rightful spot Monday, where Daniel Munoz will charge up and down the right as ever.
The familiar back three of Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix and Chris Richards should again link arms in front of Dean Henderson, who conceded 14 Premier League goals in April alone.
Crystal Palace possible starting lineup:
Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Eze, Sarr; Mateta
