It would be fair to say that Jordon Mutch hasn't exactly been having a lot of fun this year. Crystal Palace are mired in a relegation fight, where they currently sit 17th in the Premier League, and his last action, if you can call it such, was as an unused substitute at Bristol City in the League Cup. He's also sat on the bench at Old Trafford, and at home to Huddersfield Town this year.

The 26-year old has been featuring here and there for the club's U23 side, as he works to regain confidence and maintain his match fitness, but he hasn't had a proper outing since April, back when he was on loan to Championship side Reading.
