Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi will be the three central defenders. Daniel Munoz, Jefferson Lerma, Daichi Kamada and Tyrick Mitchell will be the four midfielders. Ismaïla Sarr and Yeremy Pino will be the two attacking midfielders. Jean-Philippe Mateta will lead the line for Palace."
"AZ Alkmaar are a major club in the Netherlands that regularly compete for the European places in the Eredivisie table and play in major European competitions. De Kaasboeren finished fifth in the Eredivisie table last season and will be hoping for something similar this time around. Maarten Martens's side are third in the Eredivisie table at the moment with 24 points from 11 matches. AZ are only four points behind Feyenoord and PSV, who are first and second, respectively, in the standings."
