What is the Crystal Palace vs Swansea team news?
De Boer is still without long-term absentees Connor Wickham (knee) and Pape Souare (leg).
However, he could welcome Jairo Riedweld back into the frame. The former Ajax defender missed the clash with Liverpool due to a muscle strain.
Wilfried Zaha is still unavailable.
Paul Clement could welcome back Leon Britton from a back injury, while Fernando Llorente is nearing a return from a broken arm.
This clash may come just too soon for the Spaniard, however.
Nathan Dyer, Kyle Bartley and Ki Sung-Yeung are all out.
Fact me
- There were 12 goals scored in the two Premier League games between these two sides last season; the highest scoring PL fixture in 2016-17.
- Swansea have lost just one of their last 12 league meetings with Crystal Palace (W6 D5 L1); this came at Selhurst Park in May 2015 (0-1).
- Swansea scored a winning goal in the 88 th minute or later in both Premier League games against the Eagles last season.
- Crystal Palace have started the season with two defeats – they haven’t lost their first three opening league games to a season since 2012-13; the season that they won promotion back to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.
- Swansea have failed to score in their opening two Premier League matches of 2017-18 and are yet to attempt a single shot on target.
- The last time that Swansea failed to find the net in their opening three games to a Premier League campaign was in their first season in the competition (2011-12), when it took them five matches to open their goal account.
- Should Tammy Abraham score a Premier League goal before October, the young English striker would be only the second teenager to score a goal for Swansea in the competition after Ben Davies (Jan 2013).
- Abraham hasn’t registered a shot on target in the Premier League yet, however (163 mins) and overall in league football he hasn’t found the target with a shot in any of his last four appearances (334 mins).
- Wilfried Zaha scored in both of Crystal Palace’s Premier League matches against Swansea City in 2016-17, but ended up on the losing side in each match.
- Frank De Boer has lost his opening two Premier League games in charge of Crystal Palace — the only Dutch manager to lose his first three games in the competition is Martin Jol (who won his fourth).
