Player to watch – Eberechi Eze

Eze is one of Crystal Palace's best players and although he doesn't have many assists to his name, his direct running at the opposition defence does create a lot of goalscoring opportunities for the Eagles.

With six league goals to his name, Eze joint-top scorer in the league for Crystal Palace this season alongside Edouard and Olise. The 25-year-old, who made his move to the Premier League from QPR in 2020 scored ten goals in the Premier League last season.

Can Eze provide the creative spark the Eagles need to down the Hatters

Eze has scored four goals in his last six appearances in all competitions, including three in his last two league games against Sheff Utd and Tottenham.
