Jordan Ayew - Leaves for AFCON Ayew will join Ghana for the upcoming African Cup of Nations and will miss the next two league matches, at a minimum.

Impact Ayew picked up a knock in the last contest, but it's not believed to be serious enough to keep him out of the tournament. He has been on a solid run for Palace, starting the prior seven matches, producing one goal and one assist from 10 shots and 11 chances created. It's possible Michael Olise will step into the XI given his absence.

Cheikhou Kouyate - Misses Crystal Palace game Kouyate wasn't in the squad for Saturday's match against West Ham because of an undisclosed issue.

Impact It was the first absence of the season for Kouyate, who is believe to have tested positive for COVID-19. He should be ready to play for the next contest Jan. 14 and he'll likely take over for Luka Milivojevic, who has struggled to keep pace when on the pitch this season.

Wilfried Zaha - Misses loss to West Ham Zaha wasn't in the squad for Saturday's loss against West Ham because of an undisclosed reason.

Impact Zaha was available following suspension, but reports suggest he may have tested positive for COVID-19, making him miss Saturday's match. Fortunately, he should have enough time to recover ahead of the Jan. 14 trip to Brighton.

Vicente Guaita - Poor in loss Guaita made two saves and three clearances during Saturday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Guaita really struggled Saturday conceding three goals on only five shots faced. The keeper will need to bounce back to have fantasy value. That said his inconsistency makes him hard to trust in any fantasy slate.

Jordan Ayew - Picks up knock in loss Ayew sent in seven crosses, creating three chances, and picked up a knock during Saturday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Ayew had an eventful day to say the least and ended the match with a knock he picked up late-on. The forward will be one to watch in training, as he looks forward to a Friday trip to Brighton. Ayew is a fringe fantasy option, though his volume when starting gives him some upside.

Michael Olise - Goal, assist off bench Olise scored once and provided one assist off the bench during Saturday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Olise did well off the bench being an instant impact maker during the loss. The forward isn't worth fantasy consideration unless he makes his way into the starting XI, though his two goals and three assists in two starts is a promising return.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Odsonne Edouard - Scores in loss Edouard scored once on five shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Edouard scored for the second straight game as he continues a run of solid form. The forward is on a hot streak and is worth playing if he continues that. Next up is a tough Friday trip away to Brighton.

Conor Gallagher - Out against West Ham Gallagher (undisclosed) is not in the team for Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Gallagher misses another match Saturday with a muscular issue. It doesn't seems serious, so the hope is that he'll recover in the next week and be available for Palace's next match, which should be in two weeks, Jan. 14 against Brighton.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Olise - Back on bench Olise (COVID-19) is on the bench for Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Olise returns to the team Saturday after missing the last two contests with likely COVID-19. He's started two matches this season with a bunch of bench appearances to his name and unfortunately he couldn't find more time over the busy period because of illness.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eberechi Eze - Back in squad Saturday Eze (COVID-19) is on the bench for Saturday's match against West Ham.

Impact Eze is back in the team Saturday after missing the last two contests with a likely positive COVID-19 case. He has a couple appearances off the bench, but he's still lacking full fitness following his return from a torn Achilles.

James McArthur - Out against West Ham McArthur (hamstring) "will not be in contention this week," according to Assistant Manager Osian Roberts. "And probably next week might be a little bit early as well, we'll see how...

Impact McArthur may have also picked up a COVID-19 case while recovering from a hamstring injury, so he needs plenty of time to complete his return to the pitch. Should he stay on the stated schedule, then McArthur will miss at least two months due to injury, if not longer. While he's out, Will Hughes has recently taken advantage of his chances and has made four consecutive starts.

Conor Gallagher - Status up in air Gallagher (undisclosed) is likely to be a game time decision for Saturday's match against West Ham United, according to Assistant Manager Osian Roberts.

Impact Gallagher missed Tuesday's win over Norwich City but a reason wasn't disclosed for his absence, so a muscular injury has likely held him from full match fitness. Should he remain unable to start in Saturday's match, Jeffrey Schlupp could get another start after scoring against the Canaries.

JANUARY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joachim Andersen - Available against West Ham Andersen (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's clash with West Ham, according to assistant manager Osian Roberts.

Impact Andersen is available Saturday despite a late injury scare against Norwich. The defender will hope to make his return to the starting XI immediately. James Tomkins would figure to play in the unlikely event Andersen cannot.

MATCHDAY: City can stretch Premier League lead to 11 points

Manchester City can stretch its lead to 11 points by beating Arsenal in the first Premier League match of 2022

Wilfried Zaha - Available versus Hammers Zaha has served his one-match ban after being sent off against Tottenham on Boxing Day and is eligible to play in Saturday's matchup with West Ham United.

Impact Zaha has just one goal in his last five contests while registering seven shots (three on target). Still, with five goals on the year, the forward should be capable of reaching the 10-goal threshold for the third time in the last four seasons, making him a top-end fantasy target.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Vicente Guaita - Keeps clean sheet in return Guaita kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Guaita had missed the last couple of matches for undisclosed reasons but promptly returned to record his first clean sheet in almost two months. While results haven't been the most consistent, Guaita hasn't given up more than one goal in four straight starts and he's won each of the last two. This should provide a boost in confidence heading into Saturday's visit from West Ham.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will Hughes - Gets busy in win Hughes created three chances from 11 crosses (two accurate) and logged five tackles (four won) during 73 minutes of Tuesday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Hughes didn't play the full 90 and therefore didn't get the match completion or clean sheet, but he played a major role in a convincing result for the Eagles. With five chances created, 14 corners taken and 15 tackles made over a run of four consecutive starts, Hughes seems to be eating up the production formerly held by Luka Milivojevic. If he can add more goal contributions as well, Hughes could be a highlight of the holidays, with Saturday's visit from West Ham next on the schedule.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jeffrey Schlupp - Scores against Norwich City Schlupp scored one goal from six shots (two on goal) and created one chance in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Schlupp returned to the side after a three-match absence and was able to score for the second time this season. His shot total also set a new season-high, but it's not hard when he's only made six starts all year. Given the fixture congestion and lingering COVID-19/injury issues, Schlupp could be in line for another start in Saturday's match against West Ham.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jean-Philippe Mateta - Scores in start Mateta scored one goal from four shots (three on target) in 81 minutes of Tuesday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Mateta's inclusion and goal is a positive sign for a once-promising talent who's missed a lot of time through injury. As both Mateta and Odsonne Edouard took advantage of a favorable matchup with the Canaries and the absence of Wilfried Zaha (suspension), both could be pushing hard for more opportunities in Saturday's match against West Ham. In that game, Mateta could face a defense that's conceded the joint third-fewest goals in the league to forwards.

DECEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Odsonne Edouard - Major effort in win Edouard scored one penalty goal from six shots (one on target) and provided two assists from three chances created during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Edouard seems to be coming back to life after a difficult run with just one goal in his first 12 matches of the season. While facing Norwich can be a good boost to everyone's stats at the moment, Edouard was able to take full advantage during the busiest stretch of the season. He'll now focus on a visit from West Ham, which are tied for the third-fewest goals conceded to forwards in the league.
