Crystal Palace Aims to Build Momentum Against Wolves After FA Cup Win

London, United Kingdom – Crystal Palace will host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night at Selhurst Park, eager to carry forward their recent momentum from winning the FA Cup. The club celebrated its first major trophy this past weekend, secured by Eberechi Eze’s decisive first-half goal in a thrilling final.

Despite sitting in the lower half of the Premier League table, both teams have shown remarkable form in 2025. Wolves, currently 14th, are eight points clear of relegation but have recently dropped two consecutive matches. Following their FA Cup triumph, Palace looks to extend their success against a Wolves side rejuvenated under manager Joao Pereira.

Oliver Glasner, Palace’s manager, is expected to rotate his squad, giving rest to some key players from the FA Cup final, including Eze and striker Jean-Phillipe Mateta. Striker Eddie Nketiah may take the lead, while January signing Romain Esse is also in line for starting minutes. However, Palace faces injury concerns with Marc Guéhi and Adam Wharton both doubtful for today’s match.

Wolves come into this match missing several key figures, including South Korean forward Hwang Hee-Chan, who will not play due to injury. Pereira’s tactics will lean on talisman Matheus Cunha and January addition Marshall Munetsi to spearhead the attack.

Fans can expect a lively atmosphere as Palace aims to capitalize on their recent success, while Wolves will look to disrupt Palace’s buoyant mood. Past performances suggest both sides could be evenly matched, given Palace’s propensity for thrilling encounters with a 2-2 draw in their last meeting back in November.

Kickoff is at 8 PM local time, and football enthusiasts are keenly anticipating the clash that could shape the trajectories of both teams’ seasons.
