Crystal Palace have enough quality in their squad to avoid a relegation battle in the Premier League this season, according to former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness. The South London outfit are working against a cap of just 70 per cent in terms of SCR after qualifying for the Europa League, and have a new manager in charge in Pierre Sage, who is taking his first steps in English football. Wyness believes that Palace already have enough quality in their group to comfortably beat the drop, and pointed towards their recent signing of Dwight McNeil as further evidence of that. The winger made the switch from Everton as part of a swap deal with Brennan Johnson heading in the opposite direction. McNeil is one of four new additions at Selhurst Park, alongside the trio of Anan Khalaili, Oscar Mingueza and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Palace are currently 40 points behind leaders Arsenal in the title race, but Wyness expects them to be well clear of any genuine relegation trouble. In fact, he thinks they'll be okay in terms of league survival, and that there are at least three more clubs that have got bigger issues than Palace right now. Wyness has tipped Sage for 'great things' amid Crystal Palace talks, and believes that the Frenchman could follow the likes of Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola, who have both burst onto the scene in the Premier League in recent years. Palace are set to face a tough season ahead, but Wyness is confident that they'll be able to navigate the challenges and come out on top. The Eagles are currently in 15th place in the Premier League table, with 45 points from 38 games, and have a recent form of LDLDL. They have scored 41 goals this season, but conceded 51, resulting in a -10 goal difference. Palace's last result was a 1-2 loss to Arsenal on May 24, 2026, and they have lost their last two games. Wyness has praised the Eagles' pre-season, saying that they've been 'quite sensible'. He believes that Palace have enough quality in their squad to avoid relegation, and that they'll be okay in terms of league survival. With a new manager at the helm, Palace are looking to bounce back from a tough season and make a push for the top half of the table.
