Michael Olise - Set up Eze's goal Olise assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), nine crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Olise set up Palace's goal in the second half with a perfect cross that allowed Eberechi Eze to head the ball home from very close range. This was Olise's fifth assist of the campaign, and he has quickly established himself as a reliable creative threat in Palace's attacking line.

Eberechi Eze - Breaks deadlock Saturday Eze scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.

Impact Eze rose higher than everyone else to score Palace's opener in the second half, but unfortunately, the Eagles could not clinch the three points since Brentford found a way to equalize in stoppage time. Eze has been very productive in his midfield role, racking up four goals and three assists across 23 appearances in the current league campaign.

Vicente Guaita - Can't keep clean sheet Guaita registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.

Impact Guaita was only a few minutes away from recording a clean sheet, but Vitaly Janelt had other plans and scored on stoppage time to rescue Brentford from what would've been their first loss in 11 league matches. Guaita has gone three straight games without a clean sheet, but the fact that he's conceded one or fewer goals in five of his last six starts is still encouraging.

Tyrick Mitchell - Subs off injured Mitchell was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match with Brentford due to injury.

Impact Mitchell left the match in the 82nd minute after succumbing to injury and being replaced by Chris Richards. More information about the extent of injury should be available ahead of next week's match with Liverpool.

Chris Richards - On bench Saturady Richards is fit and in the match day squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Richards returns from a back injury, but was deemed "not 100 percent" by manager Patrick Vieira. The defender is available from the bench, with a full return to fitness possible next week against Liverpool.

Joachim Andersen - Starting against Brentford Andersen is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Brentford.

Impact Andersen returns from a calf injury after being a doubt in the buildup to the match. The centerback takes up a role in the Palace back line having helped his club keep four clean sheets in 17 appearances.

FEBRUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will Hughes - Available as substitute Hughes is fit and in the match day squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Hughes returns after being forced off in the second half of last week's match with Brighton due to an injury. The midfielder starts from the bench but is available if called upon Saturday.

Joachim Andersen - Unlikely to return Andersen (calf) remains unlikely for Saturday's match against Brentford after manager Patrick Vieira didn't mention the defender in Friday's press conference.

Impact Anderson has missed the last four matches with a calf injury and is likely to miss another one Saturday. He has been the regular starting center back for Crystal Palace, featuring in the lineup in all 17 appearances. In those games, the defender has totaled 114 clearances, which is the third most in the league. James Tomkins will probably start in the back after recording a goal in the last outing against Brighton.

Chris Richards - Seen in training Richards (back) was seen lifting weights in a training video ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Richards missed last weekend's draw with Brighton after suffering from back spasms and was replaced by veteran James Tomkins in the starting XI at center-back. Given that he was lifting weights, it's assumed the spasms are gone and if all is well, Richards will be back in the starting XI against Brentford.

Joel Ward - Expected to train next week Ward (undisclosed) is expected to train next week and will miss his third-straight match, Saturday at Brentford, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact Ward has been a useful depth option this season, but he'll miss his third-straight contest this weekend with a calf issue. He's on 14 starts for the season and if it weren't for this injury, he'd probably be earning some more, as Joachim Andersen continues to work through his muscle issue.

Wilfried Zaha - Still multiple weeks away Zaha (hamstring) is only training individually and is still a "couple of weeks" away from a full return, according to manager Patrick Vieira.

Impact The news earlier this week of Zaha running on the pitch got a little out of hand and finally Vieira has provided a solid update on the striker. Zaha will likely miss the next two matches with more starts expected for the likes of Odsonne Edouard or Jean-Philippe Mateta, neither of whom has really put their clamps on the job.

FEBRUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Wilfried Zaha - Training individually Zaha (hamstring) was pictured training individually Wednesday ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford.

Impact Zaha originally had a multi-week timeline and Saturday's match is almost a full month removed from the initial injury. If he can get back in regular training this week, there's a slight chance he'll be ready Saturday, though given the absence and injury, it probably wouldn't be best to push Zaha back into the XI even if he's played through certain injuries in the past.

Michael Olise - Creates two chances in draw Olise made two interceptions and created two chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also won two of three tackles in the match.

Impact Olise lined up on the right wing Saturday with Jordan Ayew sliding to center forward, and he was active on both sides of the ball without being able to break the deadlock against Brighton.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Takes two shots in start Mateta took two shots and made two clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Mateta started Saturday for just the second time since early September in the Premier League. He's still mostly the backup option to Odsonne Edouard, but he is averaging 2.8 shots per 90 minutes since the World Cup break.

Vicente Guaita - Concedes goal to Brighton Guaita made six saves but conceded a goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Impact Guaita was beaten by a Solomon March strike on Saturday but his side was able to grab an equalizer via James Tomkins just minutes later. Crystal Palace are still winless in their last six Premier League matches since the start of 2023 and next weekend he will face eighth-placed Brentford, which have scored 36 goals in 22 matches this season.

James Tomkins - Scores goal against Brighton Tomkins scored a goal and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also made a block and four clearances in the match.

Impact Tomkins was brought in for just his second start of the season Saturday with Joachim Andersen (calf) and Chris Richards (back) both sidelined at center-back, and he headed in an all-important equalizer against Brighton for his first Premier League goal in 14 months.
