  2. Sutton's predictions: Tottenham v Crystal Palacepublished at 10:41 11 May

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    Both clubs can almost forget about this game, really. It is a bit of a nuisance for both of them.

    Tottenham's season rests on what happens in the Europa League final on 21 May, while for Crystal Palace it is all about the FA Cup final next weekend.

    Eagles boss Oliver Glasner went strong with his team selection against Forest last week and if he does the same here then I can see a Palace victory. They don't have much to play for, though, because win or lose they look likely to finish in their usual position - 12th.

    Spurs are still having a stinker of a time with injuries, with James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall both set to miss the rest of the season, and that situation hardly helps Ange Postecoglou with the side he picks.

    It is hard to make a call without knowing who will play but, all things considered, the most likely outcome is probably a draw.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1

  4. Glasner on Wharton fitness, 'business as usual' and facing Tottenhampublished at 15:53 9 May

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham (kick-off 14:15 BST).

    Here are the key lines from his news conference:

    • Glasner confirmed that midfielder Adam Wharton will not be available for Sunday's game, but is hopeful he will be back for the FA Cup final: "If everything goes right he'll be reintegrated in full training next week and on Wednesday when we start preparing for the [FA Cup] final. He is the only [player] who can't play. All the others are fit and available. 90% he can play [in the FA Cup final], but always things can happen. Sunday at Tottenham is too early."

    • The Eagles boss does not see this game as a must-win for momentum heading into the cup final next Saturday: "It's now about being best prepared and it's the next game and we want to show the best performance that we can show. It's more or less the same situation for both teams. We have this game and our final on [the following] Saturday. They have this game and one more in-between and their final on [the following] Wednesday."

    • He added: "I think he [Ange Postecoglou] expects the same from his players, that they now need every single training, every single game, to be in the best shape that they can be for the final, and this is the same approach that we have. This is what the players show me every day in training, we don't talk about the [FA Cup] final."

    • Glasner does not feel his side have an advantage over Spurs by not playing in midweek: "All these players can deal with this situation, especially with having such a huge success. When you win and go to a final, you are full of confidence. So I think it doesn't influence the game on Sunday."

    • On the end to their season: "I always believe at the end of the season you get what you deserve. I think we deserve the final now because of our great performances in the FA Cup. I think we deserve the position in the league, which is just average for Crystal Palace, in terms of 12th but yes, the amount of points is good. We now want to go for the highest amount of points in Crystal Palace history."

    • It is "just business as usual" for the Eagles before their FA Cup final on 17 May: "We want to play the final. We want to have this positive stress. There is a lot of positive energy we can get from it. This is what we can show at Tottenham. Again, the better our performance is at Tottenham, the better our confidence will be for the final."

    Crystal Palace are looking to complete a league double over Tottenham for the first time in the 25 seasons in which they have met, after their 1-0 win over Spurs in October.

    Eberechi Eze has been directly involved in five of the Eagles' last seven league goals (three goals, two assists), scoring in both of their past two league games. In his 267-game English league career, Eze is yet to find the net in three successive appearances.

  7. 'Palace's top-half ambitions have drifted out of reach'published at 12:26 6 May

    Monday night's fixture posed the same question for Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest. How do you counter a fellow counter-attacking team? Also, what do we do with all this possession?

    While manager Oliver Glasner may feel aggrieved not to have taken the three points, despite a promising performance in places, it is now 13 and a half years since Palace last beat Forest.

    Perhaps on that basis, and as a stylistic match-up, this would not have been the favourable cup final opponent after all.

    For a while, Palace's top-half ambitions have drifted a little out of reach, with the team now lodged safely in the middle of a 10-point gap between 11th and 13th. So 12th place again - ole, ole.

    The club have finished the past 11 seasons between 10th and 15th, gaining between 41 and 49 points. It is a model of lower-mid table consistency, and it appears this year will be no different. Gaining four more points will set a team record for the Premier League era but will not yield as high a finish as last season.

    The Forest performance was another example of how well the squad is currently measuring up against teams competing for Europe, as was the draw at Arsenal.

    Yet, despite the run of results since December, the team had left itself with too much to do to overcome a slow start, and since the midpoint in the fixture list, Palace have found themselves eighth in points gained in that period.

    The FA Cup still offers a chance at success that wipes this all away.

    However, the spectre of summer transfer shortcomings still looms, and the question of what may have been had the team been strengthened further, even marginally, remains.

  8. 'We really want to make history'published at 12:16 6 May

    Will Hughes says Crystal Palace's players are determined to "make history" by the end of the season.

    The Eagles find themselves in the FA Cup final but can also break the club's record for points in a Premier League campaign.

    Speaking to the club website after a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Monday Hughes said: "I think it says a lot about us as a group, us as a club, our standards, where we've set them, that we've still come to games like this full-throttle and wanting to win it.

    "We want to win every single game, no matter what it is, whether it's the Premier League game at the end of the season, or an FA Cup final. We want to go into it with the same mentality.

    "Our record points total is 49. We've got the games to do it and you can see by the performances that we really want to make history in that sense. So there's still a lot to play for."

  9. Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottingham Forest - the fans' verdictpublished at 08:27 6 May

    We asked for your thoughts after Monday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park.

    Here are some of your comments:

    Palace fans

    Gruff: A solid performance against a strong Forest team, but we should have taken all three points with some of the glorious chances at the end to score. Daniel Munoz was excellent in creating chances. Eberechi Eze and Ismaila Sarr were very creative and they look dangerous in attack. The back three was solid, but it was a very cheap goal to concede. Hopefully we get a win against Spurs to keep the momentum going into a big final!

    Keith: Palace played really well but, for the umpteenth time this season, they failed to convert their xG superiority into actual goals. If matches were decided on xG, Palace would be in the top four.

    Ken: Too many missed chances led to a draw. It should have been a comfortable win for Palace but the finishing was poor. Jean-Philippe Mateta was not in this match at all.

    Hector: A good point from the boys. They deserved it after that performance against a very well-drilled Forest team. I can't wait for Wembley!

    Steve: To be honest, Palace could and should have won the game. Forest created very little and their equaliser was a rather fortunate deflection. It was a poor goal for Palace to give away after just taking the lead. If they take their chances, Spurs away is a great opportunity for getting three more points closer to that 50-point target.

    Forest fans

    Lewis: It is, without doubt, 'squeaky bum time'. We have overperformed and are now sitting in a position where there is a general feeling that we should be doing better. That is a great place to be. The team looked galvanised against Palace, despite Callum Hudson-Odoi being out. Great to see Ibrahim Sangare playing well and Elliot Anderson looked sharp. I'm sure Murillo will pull through. Three huge games left, but three winnable games. Time to bring that top five spot home.

    Yvonne: Forest need to keep focused for their last few games. They have not been good enough in recent weeks. It is a shame because they have worked so hard this season. Get back on it, lads, and make everyone proud. You can do it. The referee was shocking and yellow must be his favourite colour.

    Ben: Another uncharacteristic Forest performance. They lacked the dynamism and cutting edge needed going forward to really trouble Palace, but credit must be given to a very organised and committed defensive display from Palace. Am I the only one who thinks Tyrick Mitchell was already going down after tripping on the ball, before he made contact with Matz Sels?

    Mossy: Would have taken a draw before the game. We have got to beat Leicester on Sunday - and they would love to muck up our chances.

  10. 'The desire to win was unbelievable'published at 07:11 6 May

    Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC MOTD: "It was pretty even. After taking the lead, the equaliser was too quick. It was a set-play and a deflected ball. I really liked how the players wanted to win this game. I'm really pleased. The desire to win was unbelievable.

    "We had many situations in the 60 or 70 minutes to come from the wing, but our crosses were not good enough. We got the penalty. We found the rhythm and we had set-plays. You always have to be aware of the transitions - but we did well. We weren't as efficient as in other games."

    On not rotating: "Players want to play and stay in the best shape. The best players in the best teams want to play. We had a great impact from the bench and this is great for the next weeks."

    On Adam Wharton's injury: "It doesn't look like it's really serious. It was more precaution."

  11. Crystal Palace 1-1 Nottm Forest: Missed chances cost Palacepublished at 23:40 5 May

    With Crystal Palace's hopes of securing a European place via the league looking increasingly unlikely, the Eagles' main attention for the season turns to the FA Cup final.

    Winning the club's first FA Cup would see them grab a spot in the Europa League and it seems like every Premier League game is an audition for that moment now.

    Against Nottingham Forest, Oliver Glasner named an unchanged side from the one that dismantled Aston Villa at Wembley.

    And they raced out of the blocks at Selhurst Park, keen to impress their home fans and continue the feel-good factor around the club after their FA Cup exploits.

    But Forest recovered and grew into the game, and the visitors were able to bite back immediately after Eberechi Eze's penalty.

    There will be frustration that Palace did not go on to win the game. Eze, Eddie Nketiah and Maxence Lacroix all had great chances to snatch it at the death.

    While the FA Cup final will be the focus, Palace still have a league-high finish to aim for, with just three more points needed to beat last season's club record points tally of 49.

  12. Sutton's predictions: Crystal Palace v Nottingham Forestpublished at 08:04 5 May

    Sutton's predictions graphic

    Crystal Palace will be on a high after booking their place in the FA Cup final, so this is another very tricky game for Nottingham Forest, who slipped up at home against Brentford on Thursday.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side will have to be stubborn and resolute to get anything at Selhurst Park. They have shown that kind of character plenty of times already this season - but they really need it now.

    Looking at the race for the top five, you feel like every team involved needs to win every game, but of course that is not going to happen, and I can see my boyhood team Forest dropping more points here.

    I just hope it does not prove crucial for them.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-1
