It's late November, almost time for the holiday fixtures (well, actually, that's about a month away), but still, if one were to look at the Premier League standings -- aka, the "table" -- today, one would see Crystal Palace in ...
fourth place!!
So last year's FA Cup champions are proving that wasn't entirely fluky, and they are doing it without Eberechi Eze, either.
Now, there are three teams playing tomorrow that could go ahead of CP's 20 points with a win tomorrow (or Monday): Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, and Manchester United. The Spurs are playing the current league leaders, Arsenal, and the Gunners don't want to lose that one. Aston Villa is playing Leeds United, currently in the relegation zone, so Leeds might have slightly more motivation than Villa, but they don't seem to be as good as Villa, either. Still, things can happen. Man U is playing Everton, actually only three points below them in the table, so that might not be an automatic win for Man U, but they've been starting to look better.
So, Palace might not be in fourth place for long. But it's something to enjoy while it's happening.
Below is the match highlights from today's (November 22, 2025) thrashing of the hapless Wolverhampton Wolves.
