Key Players to watch: Crystal Palace vs AZ Alkmaar

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace): The captain remains the defensive rock at the back for Palace with a near unmatched importance. His leadership abilities and defensive capabilities have been pivotal in keeping the defence from leaking goals so far this season and he's even popped up with a few goal contributions himself.

Ismalia Sarr (Crystal Palace): The Senegalese international has began the season flying for the Eagles with seven G/A in all club competitions. His pace and creativity are sure to cause a threat for the Alkmaar defence.

Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar): The former Tottenham man seems to have found his feet in the Netherlands. So far this season he has racked up ten goals for the club across all club competitions and with familiarity of his opponents he's a solid bet to score for the visitors.

Kees Smit (AZ Alkmaar): At only 19 the young Dutch midfielder already has reported interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid which speaks volumes about his ability. On the pitch he has proven to be instrumental in the creativity of Alkmaar and dictating play.
