Game Preview
When Crystal Palace plays Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Thursday at Selhurst Park, they will be looking to build on a tremendous performance.
Brighton, who were undoubtedly suffering from the effects of fatigue from their historic Europa League match against Marseille, lost to the league leaders in a match that was well-earned. The only thing stopping Brighton from winning more decisively was their own wastefulness. Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz scored goals in the second half. Though they moved down to 9th in the standings, comfortably 4 points ahead of Chelsea in 10th place, De Zerbi was not fooled that his team earned nothing in North London, saying the Gunners made his team “struggle” in a manner they are not used to. The Seagulls’ setback at the Emirates was only their second in 12 matches in all competitions; nevertheless, those two defeats occurred consecutively within the Premier League traveling to London clubs Chelsea and Arsenal, the last one of which put a halt to Brighton’s incredible 32-game scoring run in the top division.
The Eagles’ feathers suffered cuts quickly in the weekend’s matchup with the champs, who would presumably glide to triumph thanks to Jack Grealish and Rico Lewis’s contributions; but Crystal Palace might have become accustomed to quieting the Etihad crowd. Cutting a persistently serene demeanor, Michael Olise scooped home from 12 yards to stir chaos inside the Etihad away end, as Hodgson’s team emerged the latest side to undermine Man City’s championship credentials while also preventing three consecutive losses for the initial time this campaign. The Eagles’ winter struggles have left Roy Hodgson’s squad 15th within the Premier League standings, and unrest has been mounting around Selhurst Park. However, Thursday’s hosts are easily 8 points clear of the relegation zone and should have felt a lot more confident after their incredible comeback against Man City.
