Premier League 2019/20: Predicting the league standings 

#17 Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace have done nothing to suggest that they will stay up in the Premier League for another season. Roy Hodgson's team looks like a very weak unit and don't have a lot of quality barring the likes of Luka Milivojevic and Wilfried Zaha. Their defense has been weakened severely because of Aaron Wan-Bissaka's transfer to Manchester United.

Wilfried Zaha is the only attacking threat they have, and he isn't happy with the club because of their reluctance to sell him. If he isn't in the right space of mind, suffers an injury or a loss of form, they could be in serious trouble. The Eagles haven't even tried to strengthen their squad in this transfer market and haven't bought forwards, a decision that is unexplainable.

They have only confirmed Jordan Ayew's signing on a permanent basis and have bought Stephen Henderson as a 3rd or 4th choice goalkeeper. They have also signed former Chelsea star, Gary Cahill on a free transfer. Victor Camarasa and James McCarthy have also been signed by the club in a bid to strengthen their midfield.

They will rely heavily on their defense and will hope that their forwards can contribute when needed. Crystal Palace will have a very difficult start to the season and a bad start could see them being involved in an intense dogfight with Newcastle and Sheffield to avoid relegation.
