No team have kept more away clean sheets in the Premier League this season than the Eagles (6 - level with Liverpool). Six is their second most in a single campaign in the competition, after 1994-95 (7).
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, talking to BBC Match of the Day: "All of the credit goes to the players again, they worked so hard for this win and they were very disciplined. We didn't give them clear chances.
"We were very compacted and waited for the chances. We defended as a team - it was a great performance and result.
"We don't know the reason for winning more away than at home. It is the same approach. I think it is important that we don't always talk about winning at home. Whenever we're talking we are speaking about increasing our chances of winning and it is the same approach at home. That is the only thing we do.
"If we think 'we have to win, we have to win' you're not thinking about what you're doing on the pitch. You're not disciplined, we know we can score goals all over the pitch and we can be very tough to play against - especially when we defend like we did today."

I find both these teams impossible to predict so, let's face it, anything could happen here.
Crystal Palace lost to Everton last week but actually played pretty well.
I talked about how Fulham have struggled at home recently but then they went and beat Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.
My instinct tells me to go for a draw but I actually think Fulham will make it back-to-back home wins - so Palace will probably end up taking the points.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at Fulham (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On Eberechi Eze's return: "It was a good week for him personally, and he's getting better and better with his foot. I think he's ready to start."
Glasner confirmed the rest of the team news was "the same as last week": "All players are fit, everyone trained the whole week. It's good."
When asked how his side would handle Fulham winger Adama Traore, he said: "Both Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell have the quality to defend Adama Traore. Even with his pace and power, then he crosses, and then we have to defend the box against Raul Jimenez, Emile Smith Rowe... So it's not just him. It's a team effort."
Glasner celebrated one year with the club on Wednesday, but he said: "I had no time to reflect on Wednesday. Wednesday is always a busy day preparing for the weekend. There was a lot to do this week and, to be honest, I'm always looking to the next game, which is more important than the anniversary."
On his side having a better record away than at home, he said: "We talked about it with the players. I remember when I joined it was an issue that Crystal Palace always conceded late goals. I said OK, let's not talk about it because then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and this is the same. Our approach is always the same, but it does look like we make more mistakes at home."

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Oliver Glasner's first year at Selhurst Park.
We wanted to know your favourite moments and what you would like to see him achieve in his next year at the club.
Here are some of your comments:
Michael: A breath of fresh air compared with the turgid displays during Roy Hodgson final era. It has been a delight to watch fast-flowing, attacking football under Glasner, and to see younger players get a chance and visibly improve. I wish we could be more aggressive and clinical - we don't score enough given the chances we get - but that's not his fault. The board needs to continue backing Glasner. He has obviously got the players and fans behind him. I hope we can replicate how we performed at the end of last season and win something.
Matt: He is a massive upgrade on any of the managers we have had since promotion. He has us in a clear style of play. After losing Michael Olise in the summer, questions were raised but he has answered them. If - and it is a big if - we back him in the summer, a comfortable top-10 finish and even maybe pushing for Europe would be nice. But, as always, 17th is fine as well!
Sam: In general, this has been a very positive year. Glasner has helped raise our ambitions and he clearly wants to fight for every match. His changes during matches are generally far more effective than any manager we have had for years. It is a shame this season has been affected by middling recruitment and unfortunate injuries, but we are still in with a shout of a top-half finish. A cup win would take the club to the next level!
Tom: I have been very happy with Glasner's management of the team. Our away form has been phenomenal under him, but there is definite room for improvement when it comes to playing at home. I think we will improve next season in this respect. If we strengthen in the summer, I think we will have a very good squad.
Stephen: He is without doubt one the best managers I've seen at Crystal Palace. His progress has clearly been stymied by late signings, causing a poor start to this season and a failure to properly replace Olise. The team is still inconsistent as a result, and it must be incredibly frustrating for him. There are constant rumours about Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Adam Wharton and others being sold, which must be very unsettling. He is certainly a manager who could take us to Europe, but he needs to be properly backed to do so, otherwise I can see him leaving for a club where he will be.

Palace are now winless in their past six against the Whites (D4 L2). The Eagles are, however, unbeaten in their past five at Craven Cottage (W2 D3).

Image source, Getty ImagesOne of the big surprises at the beginning of the season was that Eberechi Eze was still a Crystal Palace player.
The 26-year-old had just been a part of the England squad that reached the final of Euro 2024 and a Palace squad that ended the last campaign winning six of their last seven games.
However, it was team-mate Michael Olise that got the big money move to Bayern Munich leaving Eze at the time, as the sole and main creative spark of Palace's attack.
In the summer chairman Steve Parish said he was "astounded" that no concrete bids were made.
Eze has a release clause of £60m, plus around £7m in add-ons, in his contract and that kicks in again this summer.
During the last transfer window Palace would have been willing to negotiate if the right offer was made for Eze, because of their relationship with the player and the ambitions he has to play at the top level.
This season has been difficult for him, he hasn't scored in his last six games but he has got three assists in that time.
Glasner has cut a frustrated figure at times on the touchline when Eze has slowed down attacks which is in contrast to the fast direct football the manager likes to play.
There's no question that Eze has the quality and deserves the chance to play at the top level.
But a run of form from now until the end of the season would ease the frustration building for some supporters and would help him get the move that he dreams of.
Image source, Getty ImagesIt has been exactly one year since Crystal Palace announced Oliver Glasner would be replacing Roy Hodgson as their new manager.
The 50-year-old is no longer the new kid on the block - and despite setting expectations low on his arrival by telling supporters "I'm no magician" in his first news conference, he has certainly had an impact at Selhurst Park.
Glasner got off to a flying start in his first match in charge, with a 3-0 home win over Burnley on 24 February 2024, but then a tough run of games followed which saw the Eagles go without a win in five Premier League matches.
But after a 1-0 win over Liverpool on 14 April 2024, Palace finally looked to be improving under their new manager. That result sparked a run of six wins in seven matches to finish off the 2023-24 Premier League season.
And it turned out to be a season to remember, as the Eagles recorded their second-ever top-half Premier League finish, their highest-ever goals tally and their joint-best points tally.
Naturally, the fans started dreaming of European football again - and there were some big expectations for the 2024-25 season - but the team failed to deliver in their opening run of fixtures, winning just one of their first 11 league games.
The 1-0 home win against Tottenham on 27 October 2024 seemed to ignite some ambition back into their season, with the Eagles taking six wins and six draws from their next 16 Premier League matches.
Glasner's team have also been enjoying themselves outside of the league, reaching the Carabao Cup quarter-finals for the first time since 2011-12 and progressing to the FA Cup fifth round for the first time in three years.
After 44 matches in charge, Glasner has 19 wins, 12 draws and 13 defeats in all competitions. His 43.1% win percentage is the highest of any Palace manager who has managed the club exclusively in the top flight.
Crystal Palace fans, how have you found the first year under Glasner? What have been your favourite moments so far? And what would you like to see him achieve in his next year at the club?

In some metrics, Eberechi Eze's statistics during his fifth season with Crystal Palace are better than any of his four previous campaigns at Selhurst Park.
Per 90 minutes played in the Premier League, Eze has registered more assists, created more chances and made more big chances for his side than in any other season since he joined Palace in 2020.
However, Eze's goals output has dropped considerably this season compared with the previous two, when he reached double figures for Premier League goals.
His average of 0.11 goals per 90 minutes played in the league this season is the lowest of any of his five seasons with Palace, including an injury-disrupted 2021-22 campaign.
Meanwhile, Eze's dribble success rate in 2024-25 (44.94%) is also his lowest in a season with Palace.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked you if Crystal Palace should keep or sell Eberechi Eze in the summer.
Here are some of your comments:
Bill: I don't think Eze has been the same since his last injury. He seems casual, lacking urgency and can be incredibly frustrating to watch on occasion. That said, he is capable of the sublime sometimes. It's whether it's frequent enough or not for me. I say sell while the going is good.
Ethel: Utter nonsense! Eze is clearly a Palace great and the notion of selling him is counter productive and awful. We should be building a team around our best players not pandering to the entitled clubs.
Peter: It depends how Esse shapes up. If he is as good as his potential I think he will be more suited to Glasner's style of play and then selling him for a sizeable profit makes sense.
Stephen: Eze has not regained full fitness this season, so it's not surprising that his contribution is being questioned. But he is 27, and he deserves a chance to fulfil his potential elsewhere before it's too late. It will be sad to see such a fine player leave, but that's football.
Andy: Eze is always going to be a valuable player to Palace, although this is not recognised by all supporters saying he is lazy and doesn't pull his weight. Just by him being on the pitch he creates space for other players, but as a team we don't take our chances.
Theo: I think we should get the money (around £60m-£70m) and then use it on another few good players or talented youngsters. Eze is very good but I'm just starting to get the feel that he's not quite understanding Glasner's system.
