Will Hughes and Adam Wharton are paired to continue their impressive partnership at the heart of the midfield. However, Palace will be without Sam Johnstone (elbow) has no chance of making this game or England's summer squad, though, while Rob Holding (ankle), Jefferson Lerma (thigh), Cheick Doucoure (Achilles) and Matheus Franca (groin) will sit this one out too.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace come into this fixture in fine form having gone unbeaten in their last five Premier League fixtures, winning four of them. A win over today’s hosts would also move the London club above Wolves in the table, as only three points separates them before kick-off. Palace will be looking to put an end to their poor run of failing to win their last away game in each of the last four seasons with a victory over a club who has failed to win their last home game in the league for the last three seasons.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Crystal Palace
Wolves come into their final home fixture this season in terrible form, having won just once in their last eight Premier League fixtures, with their last win in the league coming against Fulham on March 9. Gary O’Neill will look to put an end to this record and sign off their final home game this season with a win. This would also help improve their recent record against Crystal Palace, as Wolves have lost five of their last six games Premier League games to today’s visitors.
