Manager
Pierre Sage
In charge since June 2026
Sage adapts to the opponent, generally from a 3-4-3 that becomes a 3-2-5 in possession, with creative freedom given to two number 10s.
Palace won both the FA Cup and the Conference League in 2025/26. Sage arrived from Lens after Oliver Glasner left for Nottingham Forest.

Are Crystal Palace FC a safe survivor pick?
Across the last 3 Premier League seasons — 2025/26 (15th), 2024/25 (12th), 2023/24 (10th) — Crystal Palace FC avoided defeat in 64% of their league games. That is the baseline a survivor player should start from before looking at this week's fixture.
This season they have played 3, winning 1, drawing 0 and losing 2, with 4 scored and 8 conceded. At home they are 0-0-1; away from home 1-0-1.
Recent form reads L-L-W (oldest first), meaning they have come through 33% of their last 3 matches without losing.
