Leads defense with interceptions
Richards generated seven clearances and three interceptions in Wednesday's 1-0 win against Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Richards made seven clearances, marking his 10th consecutive game with at least five, and added one block while leading the team with three interceptions. He helped secure Palace's seventh clean sheet as the three-man backline partnership with Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix continues to perform strongly. Offensively, the defender has been less impactful, registering five shots (zero on target) and creating four chances.

"He said he was cramping. Maybe we gave him too long off because he wasn't called up for the United States and had the first week of the international break off. Hopefully it's nothing serious."
