Palace will be a tough test – O’Neil

Palace will be a tough test – O’Neil

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil on Crystal Palace: “The new coach and fresh ideas, they’ve got [Ebrechi] Eze and [Michael] Olise back, Marc Guehi coming back. Roy Hodgson did a fantastic job for a very long time. The changes are not only due to form are not only due to change of coach.

“The combination of both, good coach, new ideas, best players available, it will be a tough test for us, they’re on a really good run. A last home game that we want to be enjoyable for us and the fans. A chance to go out on a high.”

On Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise: “They look like players that could play at the very top end of the Premier League.

“I’m sure Crystal Palace will be desperate to keep hold of them in the summer. They’re in the sort of form where everyone will be talking about them, big clubs will be looking at them.”

Fair play to Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner for what he has done at Palace since taking charge in February.

His initial results were not great and I thought it would be difficult to change the team’s brand of football in such a short space of time, but he has changed it and they are getting results.

Having Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise fit has obviously helped the Eagles a lot in an attacking sense, and they are creating lots of chances for Jean-Philippe Mateta.

I can see those three having more joy against a Wolves team who have gone off the boil in recent weeks and are stumbling towards the end of the season.

Sutton’s prediction: 1-2

Serge’s prediction: 1-1
