Crystal Palace have won six of their last eight meetings with Wolves, losing only one, with the Eagles seeking five successive home victories in this fixture for the first time ever.
It's set to be a night of celebration for Crystal Palace, following the greatest day in the club's 164-year history. On Saturday, Eberechi Eze was the only scorer as the Eagles beat Manchester City 1-0 in the FA Cup Final at Wembley, securing the club's first-ever major trophy.
A word for Dean Henderson too, who memorably saved Omar Marmoush's first half penalty, just one of the many occasions on the day that Palace supporters were able to celebrate wildly. As a result, Oliver Glasner's side have now also qualified for the Europa League too, which will be the Eagles' debut in major continental competition.
Crystal Palace vs Wolverhampton Wanderers preview
Palace do still have two Premier League fixtures to fulfill, set to be the guests for trophy presentation day at Anfield on Sunday, with this final home match of an historic campaign. Pretty much rooted in 12th, the outcome of these two games matters not, but the Palace faithful will be in party mood at Selhurst on Tuesday, so expect a raucous, jubilant atmosphere in South London.
Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters are celebrating another season of Premier League survival, something that was far from assured around Christmas time. When Vítor Pereira arrived in December, Wolves were in the relegation zone, but he has won ten of his 20 matches in charge, including a six-match winning streak, the club's best sequence in the top division for 55 years.
The Old Gold do come into this one following back-to-back defeats, beaten by Manchester City and Brighton, so they would like to end this run, ahead of Brentford's visit to Molineux on Sunday. Wolves have won just one of their last eight visits to Selhurst, Matt Doherty the match-winner in 2018, so can they, at least attempt to, spoil the Palace party on Tuesday?

Crystal Palace team news
Given that the entire club have spent the last three days celebrating, who knows what team Oliver Glasner will pick for this one. Chadi Riad and Cheick Doucouré remain sidelined, while Marc Guéhi is a doubt, after suffering a suspected concussion against Manchester City.
One thing is for certain and that is Joel Ward, who's seen just 12 minutes of action this season, will get a run out. The club captain, who hoisted the FA Cup aloft at Wembley on Saturday, has made 363 appearances for the club, only seven me have more, so fully deserves to be given a fitting farewell.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Clyne, Richards, Lacroix; Muñoz, Hughes, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Eze, Mateta.

Wolverhampton Wanderers team news
Slightly different preparations one would imagine for Vítor Pereira's team, who have not been in action for ten days. He remains without Sam Johnstone, Yerson Mosquera, Enso González and Saša Kalajdžić, but will put out a strong side in South London.
Jørgen Strand Larsen is expected to return, after Gonçalo Guedes led the line against Brighton, with Marshall Munetsi and Matheus Cunha completing the front three, chosen over Pablo Sarabia and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Crystal Palace: (3-4-2-1): José Sá; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Munetsi, Strand Larsen, Cunha.
