Forgot Eze and Mateta, Wolves have another ‘outstanding’ Crystal Palace player to worry about at Selhurst Park
Wolves Face Crystal Palace Test with Pereira on Alert for Key Eagles Threats
With just two Premier League fixtures remaining, Wolves will aim to end their season on a strong note.
However, their next challenge is a demanding away trip to Selhurst Park to face a confident Crystal Palace side — a task made trickier by Wolves’ inconsistent away form.
Manager Vitor Pereira will need to carefully plan for the threats posed by Palace’s attacking talents, particularly Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eberechi Eze. But another name he should not overlook is the in-form Daniel Munoz.
Daniel Munoz a Rising Concern for Wolves
Fresh from their FA Cup triumph over Manchester City, Crystal Palace are in high spirits heading into Tuesday’s match — and it’s little wonder they’re considered favourites.
Among their standout performers at Wembley, it was Daniel Munoz who walked away with the man of the match award.
The Colombian full-back was a constant menace down the right flank, using his speed and relentless energy to torment City’s defence.
His recent displays haven’t gone unnoticed, with Alan Shearer describing him as “outstanding” on The Rest Is Football podcast.
It’s clear that Munoz will be a major concern for Pereira and his staff.
Ait-Nouri vs Munoz: A Key Matchup
Munoz has racked up six goals and eight assists this season, marking him as one of the league’s most creative defenders.
Palace’s wing-back system mirrors Wolves’ own, with both sides relying heavily on their wide players for attacking width.
That sets the stage for a fascinating duel between Munoz and Wolves’ Rayan Ait-Nouri, who has also impressed this campaign.
Their head-to-head clash could be one of the defining battles of the match.
