Welcome back to Selhurst Park for today’s match, our final fixture ahead of the November international window. This weekend’s Premier League matches are taking place over Remembrance weekend, and a special tribute will be held prior to kick-off, with the playing of The Last Post during a moment of silence. The players will be wearing kits embroidered with the poppy during the match. You can find a special tributes to Palace’s fallen heroes on page 64, reflecting on those who players served their country in both the First and Second World Wars. We remember all of those who

showed such courage, bravery and determination, with many paying the ultimate sacrifice. Today’s match takes place on the ninth anniversary of the tragic events of 9th November, 2016, which saw seven people lose their lives while travelling on a Croydon tram which derailed on its approach to Sandilands. Everyone at the club’s thoughts remain with their families, fellow supporters and those impacted by the tragedy. Palace will return to action following the international break with an away fixture at Wolves on Saturday, 22nd November.
