Palace boss Glasner stuck with his trusted 3-4-2-1 formation, recalling Chris Richards on the left side of the back three, with summer signing Daichi Kamada playing in midfield alongside Jefferson Lerma. Eddie Nketiah continued in a deeper ‘number 10’ role, and though not a familiar role, the former Arsenal striker looked sharp.

While QPR remain unbeaten in their last six matches, they have been plagued by a series of draws, notching up four stalemates during this period. Defensive frailties have been evident, as they have yet to secure a clean sheet across all competitions this season.

Glasner’s side were more than a touch fortunate that QPR’s hopes of a cup upset were quashed by Eze’s goal. Fortunate, too, that the finish flew off the leg of Steve Cook and found the net when it would otherwise have been gathered with ease by Walsh.
