Crystal Palace

• Crystal Palace have won five of their last six Premier League games (D1), indeed since Oliver Glasner’s first game in charge in February, only Man City (9 wins, 29 points) and Arsenal (9 wins, 28 points) have won more games and points in the competition than the Eagles (6 wins, 21 points).

• Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored 10 goals in 12 Premier League appearances under Oliver Glasner, just one fewer than he netted in the combined 79 games he played under Roy Hodgson (5) and Patrick Vieira (6) in the competition.

Chris Sutton is making predictions for every Premier League game this season against a variety of guests.

For this weekend's matches, he takes on Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno.

Sutton's prediction: 1-2

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.

Serge's prediction: 1-1

Palace are looking pretty strong but Wolves boss Gary O'Neil will not let his side canter through their final home game of the season.

Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Crystal Palace's trip to Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday (15:00 BST kick-off).

Here are the main lines from his news conference:

• On January signing Adam Wharton: "Adam does really well, otherwise he wouldn't play almost every minute. He starts every game because he always shows great performances - with his passing, with his solutions, with his hard work in central midfield together with Will Hughes. It's very important for us."

• On Wharton pushing for a spot in the England squad: "Gareth Southgate was at Selhurst watching the game against Manchester United so he doesn't need any advice from me. He will nominate the best players for England. We all wish all the best to our players, so of course if he was nominated [for England], it would be a fantastic achievement. He's a young guy so he will have many international appearances, but it's Gareth Southgate's decision."

• On Jairo Riedewald's departure at the end of the season: "It’s nothing to do with his individual quality. He's a great player and a fantastic guy, but we can't sign seven central midfielders if we play with two. Some decisions are not because we don't believe in the quality of the player. We have to see the whole squad, what's necessary and what's important for the team."

• On Saturday's opponents: "Wolves have a lot of quality in offence. They play very aggressively and with high intensity. It will be their last home game. Of course, everybody can read the table. If we win we overtake them - they have their last game at Liverpool and we are at home to Aston Villa. It's no secret."

• Glasner was not completely satisfied with his side's 4-0 victory over Manchester United on Monday: "Of course it was a great win, but why didn't we have so much control in the first half? I think five to four shots for us, and in second half it was 13 to two – so why is there this difference? This is what we showed the players. Out of possession, we opened the middle. We were a little bit sloppy in possession, and then it's not our best performance."

Crystal Palace trio Will Hughes, Jeffrey Schlupp and Joel Ward have all signed new deals at the club.

All three players have extended their stay Selhurst Park until the summer of 2025, having been described as "core members of the current squad".

"As well as playing a pivotal role on the pitch, Will, Jeff and Joel are natural leaders in the dressing room who embody the Crystal Palace DNA and who help set a culture of the highest standards at the training ground," said chairman Steve Parish.

"We are delighted that they will be with us next season to help further our exciting early progress under Oliver Glasner.

"The club is also in discussions with Nathaniel Clyne and Remi Matthews about extending their stays at the club."

The club also confirmed James Tomkins and Jairo Riedewald will leave when their contracts expire at the end of the season.

Defender Tomkins has been at Palace since 2016, making 135 appearances and scoring 10 goals.

Crystal Palace have announced they will travel to the United States for their 2024-25 pre-season tour.

The Eagles will be returning to the country for the second summer in a row to take part in the inaugural Stateside Cup trophy.

They will be playing fixtures against fellow Premier League sides West Ham United and Wolves.

Oliver Glasner's team will take on the Old Gold on 31 July at the 34,000-capacity Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland.

They will then travel to Florida where they will face London rivals West Ham on 3 August at the 69,000-seater Raymond James Stadium.

Chairman Steve Parish said on the announcement: "After such a brilliant tour last year, we are delighted to be returning to the United States once again this summer.

"As a club, we are always hugely appreciative of the support that we receive over in the US, and we hope our growing fanbase will enjoy the chance to join us in Annapolis and Tampa for two exciting matches against Premier League opposition."

When you are in a situation where some of your biggest players are being talked about for bigger clubs, that is what you want. You are doing something right if you have got a couple of those.

Crystal Place always need a couple of those gems and they could have another one in Adam Wharton who is gathering momentum since his move in January. But Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise have always been the ones with the talent and we are really starting to see the difference now since Oliver Glasner came in and the turnaround in form.

I have been in that situation as a player when you are at a club and some of the big players around you are being looked at by other clubs. I was at Tottenham when we had people wanting to look at Jermain Defoe - that was always a given. I was at Wigan when Antonio Valencia was hot property, and again at Spurs when Manchester United came for Michael Carrick. It is just a normal thing that big clubs come knocking at some times and you cannot stand in their way.

For Olise and Eze, it all depends on how they are thinking about the future, the contracts they have and the clubs that are interested. Do they feel like they can stay a bit longer? With the five to seven-year contracts some of the top clubs are offering these days, it is hard to turn that down and they probably feel they have to roll the dice and go.

From Crystal Palace’s point of view, it is all in their hands. It will depend what offers come in and how much they would be willing to let them go for.

Here are the key facts and figures before Saturday's game between Wolves and Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

• Wolves have lost five of their past six Premier League games against Crystal Palace. However the exception was a 2-0 win in this exact fixture last season.

• Crystal Palace have won 55% of their Premier League games against Wolves (six from 11). Of sides they have played at least 10 times in the competition, only against Stoke (70%) do they have a higher win rate.

• Wolves have conceded 60 Premier League goals this season - their most in a single top-flight campaign since 2011-12 - when they finished bottom (82). Since the start of February they have conceded 29 times in 15 games, with only Sheffield United (46), Luton (40) and West Ham (38) shipping more in that time.

• Crystal Palace have won four of their past five Premier League games, as many as they had in their previous 24 combined. They have scored four or more goals in two of their past four Premier League games, as many times as they had in their previous 82.

• Following goals against Luton and Manchester City in his last two games, Hwang Hee-chan is looking to score in three consecutive Premier League games for the first time. He has 12 goals overall this season - only Raul Jimenez has scored more in a single Premier League campaign for Wolves (13 in 2018-19, 17 in 2019-20).

• Michael Olise has been involved in 12 goals in his past 12 Premier League games - scoring eight and assisting four. Meanwhile, team-mate Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored six goals in his past six league appearances.

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton put in another excellent display in Monday's 4-0 win over Manchester United.

The 20-year-old has been a key part of the Eagles' five-match unbeaten run and many are calling for the England Under-21 international to be included in Gareth Southgate's squad this summer for the European Championship in Germany.

"I don’t really think about that too much," Wharton said. "The only time it’s on my mind is when I’m getting asked about it.

"It’s obviously great to be mentioned within that. It’s not at the front of my mind. I’m just taking each day as it comes trying to get better. If it happens, it happens. It’d be great, obviously. But at the same time, I’m not expecting anything.

"I’m just enjoying my football at Palace. We’ve still two got two games left before the Euros or the summer and I’m looking at them first. If I get the call-up, wow, fantastic. If not, [I’ll be] recovering somewhere and then get ready to go again.

"When you’re winning a game, it’s always a lot better than when you’re losing or drawing. It just builds the confidence throughout. You can enjoy the game and express yourself a bit more."

Manager Oliver Glasner called the January signing "extraordinary" before the match with United, but Wharton insists he can do more.

"I’m never really satisfied with my performances," Wharton added.

"Even if I have a good game, I always remember the things I could have done better. That’s just how I’ve always looked at games – even coming through the youth groups.

“You’re never perfect and I want to try to be perfect. I’m still only young and have got a lot to work on."

Crystal Palace are celebrating their first ever league double over Manchester United.

Michael Olise is rightly taking a lot of the praise for the victory after his two goals helped the Eagles to a 4-0 win.

But, there’s also one other player that many are speaking about after the game - Adam Wharton.

The 20-year-old signed for Crystal Palace for an initial £18m with add-ons taking it to £22m on deadline day of this year.

He had a difficult start in his first game for Palace. Introduced as a substitute against rivals Brighton, the ball was taken from him and in that move Brighton took a 3-0 lead.

However, Wharton has gone from strength to strength and started the 13 matches since then - picking up two assists - and has become a key part in Oliver Glasner’s newly implemented 3-4-3 formation.

He made his debut for the England Under-21 side in March after initially being called up to the England Under-20s and now talk has moved on to whether Wharton could be making a late charge for Gareth Southgate’s senior squad for the Euros in Germany.

Wharton was excellent in the win over United and was up against midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who made his senior Three Lions debut in March and created one of the spaces which allowed Wharton to move up to the U21s.

“He's stepped up so quick and is adapting to Premier League football and the intensity, the speed of the game. His decision-making, his pre-orientation, his solutions with one or two touches is amazing,” Glasner said ahead of the Manchester United match.

"But also we have to stay calm. I always wish the best for my players and the more successful, the more international games, the better it is because everybody wants to play for his home country.

"But also we have to think it was in the March international break he was nominated for the under-20s, then the 21s, so he was then in the second game and he played some minutes, so I don't know if it's the right moment for talking about the [senior squad for the] Euros, but he will have a fantastic career because, again, he's a very good guy and an extraordinary football player."

Southgate was in attendance on Monday night and Wharton has already impressed many inside Selhurst Park while has also caught the eye of other teams within the Premier League.

There are feelings from those inside the club that Wharton could prove to be the best signing the club has made from the Championship, which is huge praise considering the minimum £60m price tags on Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise who were also signed from the league. Both are linked to moves to teams at the top of the Premier League.

The centre midfielder’s eye for a pass is excellent and it’s thought that Wharton’s positive forward passing is allowing both Olise and Eze to excel as they are able to get on the ball quicker and in dangerous areas.

Palace are now five unbeaten with thoughts moving to next season. The Eagles will have interest from clubs for Eze and Olise in the summer but they may have to fend of bids for Wharton sooner than they had hoped.

On paper, Monday's game had all the standard ingredients for the TV audience. On one side, a plucky underdog seeking to overthrow one of the game's giants against the odds and backed by their home crowd.

However, this game was the classic role reversal. And it was not just the hubris of the home fans predicting a Crystal Palace victory. This time, they entered as the bookies' favourites.

Seemingly, the mass of match photographers camped down at the Crystal Palace end, awaiting a Manchester United goal, were the only ones not in the loop.

In the build-up to the match, Oliver Glasner dismissed any soundbite questions regarding opposite number Erik ten Hag. He was only willing to speak about his squad.

Yet there is a distinct difference between the two managers. If United have struggled for a clear tactical style or identity over two seasons of Ten Hag, Glasner's is entrenched after only 11 matches.

The system may not be unique, especially in Germany and Austria, but the hard work undertaken on the training ground has placed his players in the best position to succeed.

While we are clearly out of superlatives for the match-winning Michael Olise, it is only fitting that we can shine the spotlight on others, keeping with the mantra of Palace's Austrian coach.

With Gareth Southgate watching, a preview battle of two of England's future midfield hopefuls, Adam Wharton and Kobbie Mainoo, was under way.

Both hail from the north west of England and, though they have different routes to the Premier League, each has a rapidly growing stature in the game in this country.

Anyone fortunate enough to catch glimpses of Wharton at Blackburn Rovers could see the passing, vision and instincts that belied his age and earned him early seniority within that team. However, his move to south Alondon has not curtailed his development.

To Glasner's credit, he appears to demand more from even his brightest prospects. The defensive positioning and physical exertion questioned in Wharton's early appearances, for example, is now a distant memory.

Perhaps that is the most encouraging aspect of Glasner's arrival: his ambition to drive this club and squad to greater heights. It was something markedly absent last summer.

We asked for your views on Monday's match between Crystal Palace and Manchester United.

Here are some of your answers:

Crystal Palace fans

Gary: Another great performance. The first half wasn't our best but we still put United on the backfoot. Second half was much better, and we were still going for a fifth at the end of the game. Our fitness levels are much improved. Mateta has become one of the best strikers in the Premier League. Glasner has improved him and everyone. I can't wait for next season. Top eight is possible.

Tony: Wow! That was one of the best performances I can ever remember seeing from a Palace team - and I was there when we thumped United 5-0 in 1972! OK, United were missing key players, but so were we. They still put out a strong line-up on paper. But Eze and Olise tore them apart, ably assisted by Mateta and Wharton. Dreamland!

Gavin: Another five-star performance. Defensively sound, well drilled and quick to turn defence into attack was a real pleasure to see. Hughes and Wharton were immense and enabled Olise, Eze and Mateta to flourish. Glasner has instilled incredible belief in the players and fans and there is a determination to achieve two more wins, which would be fantastic.

Linda: Commentators keep saying that the opposition are poor - but it is Palace's determination, team play and skill that are pulling apart the opposition. Well done, Glasner - you have inspired and this could just get so BIG!

Manchester United fans

Paul: Another new low for United. Embarrassing shambles of a performance. 4-0 flattered us. No desire, no ability, no care, no teamwork. Palace played the whole game in third gear and beat us easily. It could have been 8-0 if Palace had gone into fourth gear. It is hard to support the players at the moment and the manager must take some blame. We look a disorganised mess.

Jo: I actually don’t think they were any worse than they have been for much of the season. This has been a scenario waiting to happen. Every team we play have a myriad of chances to score and they have wasted their opportunities. The difference on Monday was Crystal Palace took theirs.

Gav: Chalk and cheese. A team giving everything for their manager, with exciting wide players - against a team who clearly have given up and a manager who is not prepared to try anything different. Same every week - conceding numerous chances but even more worrying now not making any! Arsenal and Manchester City will destroy us on that performance.

Andy: All I can say is well done Palace. I should have been 6-0. United are awful! The worst side I’ve ever seen. Erik ten Hag did inherit a broken side - but his signings have made them worse still. He has to go. The whole squad bar three players should go. Start again with the youth. It simply cannot get any worse. Something has to change.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says he gave Michael Olise a pep talk in converting his chances to goals while in the shower, following the draw at Fulham in late April.

And it clearly worked, as the midfielder scored twice against Manchester United on Monday and ran rings around the crumbled United defence.

"We spoke after the Fulham game when he was under the shower," said Glasner. "He was a little bit disappointed because he had three or four shots and the shots were blocked or he hit straight at the keeper.

"I said, 'maybe try near post and maybe then the goalkeepers are surprised,' and in this situation he shot near post and scored."

Olise has scored nine goals so far this season and recorded four assists, whilst only starting 12 Premier League games due to injuries.

Another standout performer from the victory over Manchester United was January deadline day signing Adam Wharton.

The 20-year-old midfielder has taken to the top-flight with ease, following his move from Blackburn Rovers, and has been labelled a generational talent in recent weeks.

At half-time he was seen offering advice to another Palace scorer on the night, Jean-Philippe Mateta.

"Second half was an excellent performance," Glasner said of Wharton, who played a key role in the third goal for Tyrick Mitchell.

"It shows his mentality and character that a 20-year-old guy talks to Mateta, but also on the other side that Mateta is listening to him.

"This is the environment that I really like as a manager."

Crystal Palace captain Joachim Andersen to BBC Sport: "We had some pretty good results recently. I don't know if it's the best game we played but it's up there. The West Ham game was amazing.

"They had many injuries but it was a great performance and everyone played amazing.

"The coach had us set up perfectly. It's a good atmosphere in the dressing room now.

"I don't think we've conceded many chances with the gaffer. It was a clear win for us. It was a top, top performance.

"We could have scored five in the first half. It's a privilege to play in this team. If we keep everyone fit we can achieve something big. Our front three are on fire."

On whether their star forwards could leave: "I'll be praying the whole summer for them to stay, maybe send them a few messages."

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner to BBC Sport after the 4-0 win over Manchester United: "I think the first-half performance wasn't our top level. We gave them too many passes. It was an open game in the first half but we were efficient.

"We didn't give them any space in defence [after the break]. Second half was really good but first half we could do better. But the score was amazing.

"It was the fourth game in a row where the other team didn't have 10 shots. This is what we want to do to control the game with a compact defensive shape.

"We know when we get our players in dangerous areas they are able to score goals.

"We will always be very critical and look at what we can improve.

"Stay humble. Focus on the details. We struggled with defensive set-plays. They could have scored one or two. We always look at what we can improve."

On Jean-Philippe Mateta's form: "He can play better than he did today. He lost too many balls but he has his confidence in scoring. Maybe we have an advantage in our pace. It's nothing we taught him."

On if star players could leave: "It's the job of the club to keep all the players. I know they'll try everything possible. You never know how your squad will look when the next season starts. They're amazing players, this is an amazing group."
