European dreams are still flickering for both Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest as they lock horns under the Monday night lights at Selhurst Park in a Premier League clash that could prove pivotal in the race for continental qualification in 2025-26.
Fresh from their electrifying 3-0 FA Cup semi-final demolition of Aston Villa at Wembley, Oliver Glasner's revitalised Eagles are flying high and eyeing a strong finish to a campaign that still holds plenty of promise.
With an FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City on the horizon, Palace now turn their focus back to league matters, hoping to keep pace in the hunt for a potential top-seven finish.
Forest, meanwhile, come into the fixture licking their wounds after a sobering 2-0 loss to City in their own semi-final outing. Pep Guardiola's side struck early in both halves to blunt Nuno Espirito Santo's men at Wembley, and Forest's recent form has left fans and neutrals alike wondering whether they've run out of steam at a crucial moment in the season.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Crystal Palace vs. Nottingham Forest predicted lineups, team news
Palace are nearly at full strength heading into this one, with Tyrick Mitchell recovering well from a knock picked up late in their cup triumph.
Only Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucoure remain sidelined, while Matt Turner is ineligible against his parent club, not that Dean Henderson’s starting spot was under threat.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Richards, Lacroix, Guehi — Munoz, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell — Eze, Sarr — Mateta.
Injured: Riad (knee), Doucoure (knee).
Suspended: None.
For Forest, it's a bit more complicated. Callum Hudson-Odoi appears set to miss out with a suspected hamstring strain sustained against Brentford. Nuno has several options to reshuffle the frontline, including Ramon Sosa, Jota Silva, and Nicolas Dominguez.
Chris Wood remains their primary threat and could make history as the first Forest player to notch double-digit Premier League away goals in a single season.
Nottingham Forest predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Sels (GK) — Williams, Milenkovic, Murillo, Toffolo — Sangare, Anderson — Elanga, Gibbs-White, Dominguez — Wood.
Injured: Da Silva Moreira (ankle), Hudson-Odoi (hamstring).
Suspended: None.
