Palace have been in good form recently, having beaten Charlton 3-2, and in their last 5 fixtures have only conceded 3 goals (2 of which were against Charlton).

Sunderland will be looking to change their gameplay, with them having lost their last match against Birmingham City and having also drawn to Newcastle. 

However, Sunderland are far away enough and are safe from the relegation zone, with them being 10 points clear of Portsmouth FC Women, who are in last place on the table. Sunderland are 8th place.
