Football Park’s Best Bet: Crystal Palace to Win @ 2.2 - Recent form suggests confidence in a home victory. Palace do look very good when they are playing well; they have seemed to have found their old selves and are back to playing some strong, fluid football.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace): Six goals this season for the Frenchman, call ups to France has suggested he is in great form again this season, and will certainly expect to add to his current tally this weekend.
Danny Welbeck (Brighton): The 34-year-old has been putting his name back into the international selection hat recently. With the squad announcement from Thomas Tuchel expected soon, the forward could be in with a good chance to rejoin the Three Lions given his strong start to the campaign.
