Crystal Palace roundup: Eagles 15th after five games with Forest next at Selhurst Park
One win from five leaves Crystal Palace 15th in the Premier League table and on a two-match losing run. FanTribe rounds up the standings, results, top scorers and the fixtures against Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Where Palace stand
According to the Premier League table, Crystal Palace sit 15th after five matches with four points — one win, one draw and three defeats. They have scored six and conceded 11, a goal difference of minus five, which leaves them level on points with Sunderland in 14th and Aston Villa in 16th.
The table's form guide reads DLWLL, and the data shows two straight losses heading into the October fixtures. The wider picture has Manchester City leading the division on 15 points, with Arsenal second on 12.

- Position: 15th
- Points: 4 from 5 matches (W1 D1 L3)

Who is scoring
FanTribe's scoring data for the club shows T. Mitchell leading the way with two goals, with Anan Khalaili, B. Chilwell and Jörgen Strand Larsen each on one. With 11 conceded at the other end, according to the Premier League table, the scoring has not been enough to offset the defensive numbers.
Next up: Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park
Palace host Nottingham Forest at Selhurst Park on 11 October (13:00 UTC kick-off). Bookmaker odds sourced via api_football, as of 20 September, price a Palace win at 2.62, the draw at 3.38 and a Forest win at 2.63. Those prices imply bookmaker-derived probabilities of 36% for a Palace victory, 28% for the draw and 36% for Forest — the market data lists no favourite, and its verdict describes the market as tightly split between the outcomes.
On FanTribe, the points on offer for the fixture are 52 for a Palace win, 68 for the draw and 53 for a Forest victory.
Then: Brighton away
Palace round off the month with a trip to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion on 18 October (13:00 UTC kick-off). According to the Premier League table, Brighton sit third on 10 points with 16 goals scored — the most of any side in the division.
Fan tracker
FanTribe's own fan data for Crystal Palace currently lists zero registered fans on the platform, so there is no community sentiment read to share this week. That is a gap worth watching as the season builds, and one our club page will look to fill.
October, then, is about turning a modest points return into something sturdier — starting with Forest at Selhurst Park.
