Eze is still expected to be in the Palace squad for the first leg of their Conference League play-off and he will have a chance to say his goodbyes at Selhurst Park.

Palace manager Oliver Glasner said on Wednesday afternoon that Eze would start against Fredrikstad as Tottenham held talks over a deal sign the 27-year-old.

Eze is set to say his Palace goodbyes at Selhurst Park

Should Eze not start, Justin Devenny and Romain Esse are options to come into the team in his place.

Devenny replaced Eze late on in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.

Glasner has also confirmed Palace captain Marc Guehi will start against Fredrikstad amid transfer interest from Liverpool.

Daichi Kamada is a doubt, having missed the Chelsea game with a knee injury.

Eddie Nketiah, Matheus Franca and Cheick Doucoure are long-term absentees.

Palace are strong favourites to go through and reach the Conference League league phase, and will hope to build a sizeable lead ahead of the second leg in Norway next week.

**Predicted Crystal Palace XI:** Henderson; Guehi, Lacroix, Richards; Mitchell, Hughes, Wharton, Munoz; Davnny, Sarr; Mateta

**Injured:** Nketiah, Franca, Doucoure

**Time and date:** 8pm BST on Thursday, August 21, 2025
