Crystal Palace secured a notable 3-1 victory over Millwall in the FA Cup despite Jean-Philippe Mateta’s severe head injury, and the Eagles remain determined.
Crystal Palace celebrated their recent triumph against Millwall in the FA Cup, but the win was overshadowed by a serious incident. Unfortunately, Jean-Philippe Mateta suffered a horrific head injury that required 25 stitches to his ear. Consequently, the team now faces a challenge without one of their key players.
Moreover, Mateta’s injury is likely to sideline him for some time. In addition, the in-form Eagles are eager to extend their success by striving for a third successive Premier League victory this season. They now prepare to face Ipswich at Selhurst Park with renewed determination.
Over the past 14 rounds, only Liverpool and Arsenal have managed to accumulate more points than Palace’s 27 in the Premier League. However, merely eight of those points came at home, which leaves the Eagles somewhat exposed on their own turf. Therefore, every home fixture carries extra weight.
Furthermore, the upcoming match pits Palace against lower-ranked opposition that have consistently struggled at home. In fact, these visitors have not managed to defeat teams positioned in the relegation zone during their recent home outings. As a result, the Eagles have a favorable record to build upon.
Meanwhile, Ipswich recently suffered an FA Cup exit at Nottingham Forest on penalties, which has allowed them to focus solely on their survival campaign. Additionally, the Tractor Boys have experienced a tough run in the league, as they have not secured a victory in their eight Premier League matches this season. They have also conceded at least two goals in most of these encounters.
Historically, Ipswich have never failed to win their first nine league fixtures of a calendar year, so they might appreciate the change of scenery on the road. Interestingly, only Palace have managed to accumulate a higher percentage of points away from home compared to Ipswich. Nevertheless, Ipswich’s last visit to Selhurst Park ended in a heavy 5-0 defeat back in November 2012.
Finally, attention turns to the players who could make a decisive impact. With Mateta sidelined, Eddie Nketiah may be given a chance to start after scoring in successive matches, thus ending his wait for a Premier League goal since arriving at Palace. In addition, Jaden Philogene has enjoyed a rich vein of form on the road, having scored four goals recently, including a brace against Manchester United that opened the scoring within minutes.
