How is Richards able to play? Did his red get overturned?

Also, no Lerma. Hope he's not hurt.

Finally Kamada and Devenny in midfield with Wharton? Is it a different shape?

Should read Lerma

Richards is banned tonight

I'll change it when the beeb do.......

The beeb are wrong

 

[palace chick]

BBC setup shows Devenny and Wharton as middle two. I reckon it will be Kamada and Wharton?

 

[glazedallover]

It still says Richards in the rolling text, but the formation line up has Lerma.

They haven’t got a clue 🤣

Haven't got the best feeling about tonight for both the Men and Women's teams who are respectively playing top quality opposition within their leagues. Focus for tonight has to be keeping our first choice players fit and ready for Saturday's tough FA Cup Semi-Final draw. Would be delighted if we fought out a draw against Arsenal so as to show defence strength and composure yet NOT affording opposition too much respect.

What do others think?

 

[Charlie B]

Let's hope for no injuries and we don't get battered again.

 

[waterfordpal]

Was hoping Franca would start and maybe rest Eze.

 

[peterboroeagle]

This obsession with Kamada is really grating on me now. He HAS to be involved in every game somehow. Poor Esse can’t get a look in.

Im sure you ladies have one eye on how the girls are getting on but trust me for 99.9999% of us blokes its the last thing we are thinking about

 

[rob1969]

Frankly anything less than 4-0 will be acceptable tonight if no knew. injuries

Looking at the side we have put out I reckon we’ll get battered, however this is Palace so who knows.

I wouldn't be so certain. Saka on bench, Marino not in squad. That's most of their goals.

 

[samprior]

I was hoping Esse or Franca might get a start. Hopefully they will get some decent game time today, with hopefully the game still in the balance!

[PatrickA]

Our front 3 will hold no fears for Arsenal and has no real pace or physical power.
I'd be surprised if we score other than a possible consolation goal.
I hope Esse and/or Franca get a chance and not just for 5 mins at the end of the game.

 

[French eagle]

Praying for no red cards and no injuries. After that , the result is immaterial.
