Israeli Forward Anan Khalaili Starts for Crystal Palace in Premier League Match

Israeli forward Anan Khalaili was in the starting lineup for Crystal Palace as they hosted Ipswich in a Premier League fixture on Saturday. Both teams entered the match with three points from their first three games of the season. Crystal Palace secured their first league win under manager Pierre Sazé in their previous outing, a 3-2 comeback victory against Fulham, following earlier losses to Everton and Manchester City. Khalaili retained his position on the right wing.

Ipswich, meanwhile, began their season with a 2-1 win over Sunderland but have since suffered defeats against Manchester United and Liverpool. Crystal Palace had won their last two Premier League encounters against Ipswich, both during the 2024/25 season, with a 1-0 scoreline in each. In the 13th minute of the current match, Khalaili's header from a precise cross went high over the crossbar, failing to trouble the goalkeeper.
