Crystal Palace will aim to extend their undefeated streak in the 2025/26 season as they prepare to take on Sunderland at Selhurst Park this Saturday.
Despite facing challenges with a thin squad and conflicting public statements regarding Marc Guehi, manager Oliver Glasner has led the team to three wins and three draws in all competitions.
Renowned pundit Paul Merson expects Crystal Palace to secure a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, praising the team’s underrated abilities and professionalism, particularly highlighting Guehi’s positive attitude despite the failed Liverpool transfer saga.
While Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has impressed with two wins in three games following their Championship promotion, an injury-plagued Crystal Palace may introduce new signing Christantus Uche immediately to bolster their midfield options.
The versatile Nigerian midfielder’s arrival could provide much-needed depth and tactical flexibility, potentially making a significant impact in the upcoming match against Sunderland.
